Transparency in Health Care Testimony for House Insurance 9.5.24

Barriers in health care transparency prevent patients from accessing comprehensive information on health care costs and quality.

Recommendations:

• Require good faith estimates for shoppable services
• Fully fund the all-payer claims database (APCD)
• Eliminate obstacles to sharing cost and quality information
• Remove barriers to value-based care models
