Business Case for Investing in HC Reform
Expanding AccessLowering Health Care Administrative Costs Through a Public-Private Approach to Health Reform
The United States leads all industrialized countries in the
share of national health care expenditures devoted to insurance administration.
Estimated administrative costs would fall from 12.7 percent of claims to an average of 9.4 percent. Savings—as much as $265 billion over 2010–2020—would be realized through less marketing and underwriting, reduced costs of claims administration, less time spent negotiating provider payment rates, and fewer or standardized commissions to insurance brokers.
