Growth of High Deductible Plans Means Increased Demand for Price Transparency “employers and health plans are in accord that consumers (employees/enrollees) must shoulder more of the burden for their healthcare purchase decisions and bear more financial responsibility for these decisions.”* • Demand for price information will grow exponentially as consumers directly absorb of their healthcare costs • Currently there is no price information for health and wellness services that indicates provider prices * Health Care Price Transparency: A Strategic Perspective for State Government Leaders Deloitte Center for Health Solutions (2007)

Not Only Price Information is Lacking but Meaningful Measures of Healthcare Quality are also Unavailable

”The health care "system" in America is not a system. It's a disconnected collection of large and small medical businesses, health care professionals, treatment centers, hospitals, and all who provide support for them. Each player may have its own internal structure for gathering and sharing information, but nothing ties those isolated structures into an interoperable national system capable of making information easily shared and compare.” U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

•. In the absence of easily accessible measures of quality consumers turn to friends and family for health and wellness provider recommendations. – 50% of consumers turn to friends for recommendations; 38% use doctors’ recommendations, and 35% use health plans. 4/30/2012
