HC21 - Endorsements

Endorsed Health Plans

Every two years HealthCare 21 initiates an endorsement process with regional and national health plans to identify plans that have the best value for our community, a combination of quality and cost. Health plans are evaluated in the areas of network, administration, disease and health management, medical error prevention/patient safety, pharmacy benefit management, cost/reimbursement structure and their willingness to meet performance standards developed by HealthCare 21. Health plans are selected for endorsement by HealthCare 21. Health plans are voted on for endorsements by HealthCare 21 purchaser members after a thorough review of Request for Information (RFI) responses, eValue8 scores and health plan discussions.
