More reasonable pricing needed<\/b><\/h2>\n
Recently, we identified 54 of the most expensive health care practices across the state who have benefited from charging inflated pricing under previous rules. Charging some patients up to 500% more than what they charge other patients is the kind of action that leads to unnecessarily high health care costs and higher premiums for everyone. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWe\u00a0have\u00a0asked\u00a0these\u00a0providers\u00a0to\u00a0work with us on\u00a0adjusting\u00a0their pricing to be more in line with their peers. We have requested\u00a0prompt\u00a0responses to ensure they remain in our network\u00a0moving\u00a0forward, and\u00a0look forward to working with them to make health care more affordable for our members.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nR<\/span>egardless of\u00a0<\/span>network status<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>the new law<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>helps<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>protect<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>members\u00a0<\/span>from paying\u00a0<\/span>exorbitant<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>cost<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>w<\/span>hile\u00a0<\/span>ensur<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0appropriate\u00a0<\/span>access<\/span>\u00a0to care<\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
