$100M Healthcare Pricing Database

We have been following the NY attorney general's cases against Ingenix and large health insurance companies. The attorney general recently announces where the $100M in fines will go and what they intend to do with the healthcare data.

They will create a new Non Profit entity called FAIR Health that will be centered at Syracuse University. Other NY universities will share in the money and collaborate on the project.

FAIR Health will ultimately offer pricing information to consumers on a new website they intend to create. It should help consumers understand typical Insurance company reimbursement for out-of-network care. They hope to have the website up within one year.

You can view the attorney general announcing FAIR Health here.
