Quote of the Day

Narrow network products that often don’t include out-of-network coverage are “likely to result in increased member complaints and litigation regarding access to providers…and pressure on plans to expand the networks. The likely result will be some increase in the network sizes, more products with out-of-network coverage, but ultimately, consumers will likely adjust as they view the cost differences in those products.” With expanded choices, “the market can answer whether consumers value provider choice over lower cost.” — Jack Rovner, a founding attorney and member of The Health Law Consultancy in Chicago, told AIS’s Inside Health Insurance Exchanges.
