According to a Sept. 7 HHS release, states that use reinsurance waivers provide more affordable coverage to residents by offering to pay insurers for claims that would otherwise be paid by consumers through higher premiums.
Eligible states will receive between $2.5 million and $139 million depending on the size and scope of their reinsurance programs.
The pass-through funding is provided through Section 1332 waivers and comes from the American Rescue Plan.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
