Transparency in Healthcare Costs
Under the regulatory oversight of the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), hospitals, carriers and payers are required to make their pricing for healthcare services public. With this data, NFP consultants can now perform an independently verified network analysis of service and procedure costs across all carriers/payers for the first time. This analysis allows employers to verify price differences across insurance carriers/payers, hospitals and health systems. It further enables employers to drill
down to individual procedures and services to examine pricing variation across facilities and practitioners.
For the first time, employers can compare, and contrast negotiated pricing across the universal healthcare landscape. NFP’s TPNet tool can benchmark providers, facilities and carriers/payers to compare your healthcare offering against the best-negotiated plans in the country.
