Driving Innovation

Health insurance providers are committed to innovation, creating cutting-edge programs that are providing Americans with better access to doctors, better care quality, and enhancing overall care coordination.

Value-Based Care

  • Value-based care models reward providers for focusing on the quality of care provided, and the resulting outcomes, as opposed to paying providers for the amount of services they deliver.
  • Value-based models for delivering care are essential for putting the patient first, creating aligned incentives that reward everyone for helping patients get healthier faster, and stay healthier longer.

Privacy

  • Every person should have access to their data and be able to easily know how their health information may be shared.
  • At the same time, it is essential that every American is confident that their personal health information is private and protected – no matter who holds it.
  • Health insurance providers are advocates for data governance and ethics principles that enhance consumer access to their data and promote interoperability, health equity, and fair practices for the people we serve.

Telehealth

  • Telehealth allows patients to see their doctor virtually, doing away with the need for an in-person visit. Care can be provided over a video link or through a phone call.
  • Telehealth is essential for improving the patient experience. Increasingly after the COVID-19 pandemic, patients and providers accept – and often prefer – digital technologies as an essential part of health care delivery.
