Many New Mexico residents getting health coverage through the state health insurance exchange will generally see slightly lower premiums in 2015.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that the state Office of the Superintendent of Insurance says premiums will go down for three of the five insurers.
According to the office, premiums for a 50-year-old non-smoking Albuquerque-area resident will drop on average by 7 percent at Molina Healthcare, 1.5 percent at New Mexico Health Connections and 1 percent at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico.
Presbyterian Health Plan's premiums aren't changing.
A fifth participating insurer, Christus Health Plan, is in its first year.
