Healthcare bills should accurately reflect where care was provided. For consumers, that means greater transparency into healthcare costs and confidence that they aren't paying more for the same service simply because of where they receive it. We are introducing new billing policies designed to improve site-of-care transparency and help ensure certain services are paid at the appropriate rate. The policies will apply across our Commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid businesses and are intended to address situations where care provided at an off-campus location is billed at a higher hospital rate. This approach helps promote more affordable healthcare for members and consumers while increasing transparency around the cost of care. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eJ8gHUj9

A strong start to the school year takes more than school supplies. It also takes access to resources that support the health and well-being of children and families. This summer, our affiliated Medicaid health plans worked alongside schools, health providers, community organizations, and local partners at nearly 500 back-to-school events across more than 400 communities. Together, these efforts reached more than 123,000 students and families — with support ranging from school supplies to health education, screenings, immunizations, nutrition resources and connections to community-based services. What that support looked like varied by community. That was the point: local partnerships helped connect families with resources based on the needs of the people they serve. Because helping children start the school year strong means supporting them at school, at home and in the community.
