Care doesn't stop when a patient leaves the hospital. ACHP member plan @MassGenBrigham is expanding the use of its hospital-at-home infrastructure to support patients after they leave the hospital to improve outcomes and strengthen care transitions.

We agree and how we get there matters. Transparency empowers consumers when it's standardized, consumer-friendly & appropriately contextualized. A path forward requires accessible tools and better data-sharing with plans.
Health care markets work best when patients and employers have the information they need to make informed decisions.
As Chairman @RepGuthrie emphasized, greater transparency can empower consumers, foster competition, and create opportunities for new innovators to deliver lower-cost, higher-quality care.

"Managed care plans can be an important partner for implementation" says ACHP's Dan Jones to @InsideHealthPol on the one bright spot in @CMSGov's new #Medicaid work requirements rule. Our member companies have the data and reach to do it right. More in our comments: achp.pub/3Q1Ylgi

Most Americans on #Medicaid already work or are in school. The new rule piles on documentation & tightens exemptions, making it harder for eligible people to keep the coverage they qualify for. Measure success by health outcomes, not coverage losses. via @pminemyer in @FierceHealth 👇 achp.pub/43fXZG5

Most #Medicaid beneficiaries are already working, in school or caring for someone. The new @CMSGov rule adds documentation hurdles that make it harder for caregivers, medically frail individuals & people in temporary hardship to keep their coverage. Success shouldn't be measured by who loses coverage.

When Mythos dropped, Treasury & the Fed Reserve convened bank CEOs to coordinate a response. Health care got no such call. The AI cyber threat is here and "it's a much bigger threat on the health care side," ACHP's Dan Jones told @RebeccaAdamsDC.

New letter to @CMSGov: the Total Beneficiary Cost methodology is squeezing regional nonprofit MA plans out of markets seniors depend on. A simple fix for CY 2027 - exclude preventive dental, vision & hearing from TBC - would protect choice and competition. Read it here: bit.ly/4dLyVN1

This was expected though seeing the actual numbers is striking. Burden will hit hospitals, local clinics and of course the individuals themselves. @_ACHP
Scoop: More than 1 in 5 who enrolled in health insurance through HealthCare.gov during open enrollment and in the weeks immediately following were dropped from coverage for failing to pay premiums, a much higher attrition rate than last yr. notus.org/healthcare/aca-hea…

The data is in: when enhanced premium tax credits go away, coverage goes down. ACA enrollment has already dropped by 1.2M & that’s only the beginning. As higher premiums push coverage out of reach, losses will multiply. Affordability matters & we need lawmakers to take action.

The new federally-mandated prior auth disclosures were supposed to deliver transparency. Instead, as @modrnhealthcr reports, they "provide little insight into what services are approved or denied," scattered across websites & presented in inconsistent formats. Some companies tout great numbers, but have to caveat with footnotes (see below).

Transparency shouldn't require a magnifying glass. Real reform won't come from more disclosures, it comes from a different operating model: nonprofit, community-based plans moving prior auth toward zero through provider partnership. @CeciConnolly & Dr. Charles Bloom explain in @NEJMCatalyst: achp.pub/49x2b72
