Transparency
Opaque health care pricing and a lack of information about corporate ownership and control of health care organizations hinders efforts to assess the drivers of rising health system costs and other challenges with the U.S. health system. Our team of nationally recognized experts investigates policy solutions to improve the transparency in our health care system, to help lower costs and achieve a high-quality healthcare system that works for consumers and patients.
What We Do
Our experts at CHIR conduct research to assess the impact of federal and state policies to reduce costs and foster healthcare competition on consumers, patients, providers, and payers. We provide unbiased, relevant, and timely information, analysis, and technical assistance to policymakers, regulators, and stakeholders seeking a marketplace where consumers have access to affordable and high quality healthcare coverage.
