Major Changes in Benefit Design: A Plausible Way to Control Costs?
Many challenges exist in controlling health care costs, and major changes in benefit design could offer promise toward this goal. It remains unclear to what extent specific changes would impact health care costs, and whether these changes would make a lasting difference. Despite these unanswered questions, benefit design changes are taking place in every market. Evaluating the effects of these changes is the only way to truly understand their capabilities.
This brief is a joint effort of HCFO and State Coverage Initiatives.
