Solutions
Health plans are committed to working with federal and state policymakers — and with other stakeholders across the health care system — to advance policies, regulations and responsible enforcement needed to build a more competitive marketplace. By improving competition in three key areas, the health care system can become more affordable, more accessible and more responsive to patients' needs.
Foster Pro-Patient Competition
Break down barriers to innovation and give patients more options — including expanded access to home-based care, telehealth and dialysis — by aligning incentives with better care delivery.
Ensure that proposed mergers, market consolidation and billing practices are subject to effective oversight to prevent monopolistic behavior that drives-up costs without improving care.
