Medical PMPM was projected to increase by 7% in the Northeast Region, but increased by 2.6% for the State employee plan.

Urgent Care visits increased per 1,000 11% from the prior year while Emergency Room visits decreased 9.9% per 1,000 likely due to the increased use of access to lower cost setting options for non-emergent care.
In-patient admissions increased per 1,000 have decreased 12.7% while in-patient days per 1,000 have decreased 28.7%. Report indicates that admissions and days per 1,000 are moving closer to the norm.
