Summary of the Project:
In many US health care markets, private insurance prices vary considerably, contributing to high health care spending and frustration for consumers. This research team will use recently mandated Transparency in Coverage data to describe how prices vary across procedures, providers, insurers, and markets. They will also identify the provider, insurer and market characteristics associated with these price differences.
