Focus Area: Payer Dynamics
Concerns surrounding healthcare affordability continue to dominate media headlines, research publications, and policy conversations. These narratives include pains borne by individual patients and hardships felt by employer sponsored plans and have recently brought focus to issues including medical debt, charity care policies, price transparency, site-neutrality, and other critical policy issues. At the core of these concerns is either a lack of understanding, or a pervasive misunderstanding (or a combination of the two) about the dynamics between providers and payers in the healthcare ecosystem.
The Data Atlas was made to be a versatile tool to deploy, reference, cite, and repurpose across various scenarios to provide greater clarity and education about commercial payers. The Atlas explores recent market statistics, research, and reports that highlight the relative sizes of commercial insurers and large health systems, and recent payer trends related to prior authorization, claim denials, and utilization of AI.
