The largest insurance company has agreed to a public employee at Big Apple to provide pre -revised health care data that can help curb astronomical prices in shipping New York Hospitals to patients.
The sudden change of Anthem Blue Cross came on Saturday after a week of reporting the defective report, which was issued 263 pages by the city's health care accounting office, which found contradictions in land prices through the city's hospitals. For example, colonoscopy at a hospital of $ 940 and $ 12,000 in another to deliver the Caesarean section of $ 7,000 to $ 58,000.
The study-which focused on the payments that were conducted through the hymn, and not the private sector insurance plans-also contained holes in this, and accused the anthem of violating the law by not providing OHA with the necessary data to provide a complete picture of price contradictions.
Anthem approved the issuance of data that was previously revised in the wake of a virtual meeting on Friday with council member Julie Mainen, which sponsored the legislation that establishes the first health care control office of its kind in 2023.
“We are very pleased to reach this agreement with Anthem to issue this lost health transparency data that will allow all New York residents to know what hospitals are imposed by all medical procedures and their empowerment [NYC] “It is possible to save more than two billion dollars annually by harnessing its purchasing power to reduce costs,” said Minin.
Minin added that OHA is now expected to be issued a revised report with new numbers to give the city the important information necessary to help negotiate cheaper prices for health care.
The insurance company held the meeting after covering the post of the defective OHA report, which included Menin's decision to tear anthem to possess data as a “slap in the face of New York City”.
“We believe in the pricing of transparency and we will continue to work with our partners within the city government, organized workers, and a community our provider to ensure an investigation in all ways for the continuous savings of New York City employees and their families,” said Victor Destevano, head of a New York Ests plan.
The hymn – which the city paid was driven by $ 3 billion annually to provide insurance for approximately 900,000 employees – that he had previously claimed that some pricing data would be issued to violate the confidential agreements that highlight it with hospitals that precede a federal base 2021 that requires hospitals to reveal their prices to the public.
The OHA report said that the feature of the city's advantages through ANTHEM paid average $ 45,150 for internal patient services in the fiscal year in the 10 best hospital systems in New York. R.
The highest in New York-Pressbyterian (92,727 dollars) and the Montefiore Medical Center ($ 83,573), while Stone Brock University Hospital was the least ($ 36,876).
The publication was reported two years ago about the 32BJ Seiu analyzes, the city's construction service employees, which indicates that the Big Apple can provide taxpayers up to two billion dollars annually by checking the amount of municipal workers for care in various hospitals and providing recommendations to reduce prices.
“We have said all the time that access to transparent data allows us to be better consumers,” said Henry Jarredo, CEO of the Provincial Council, the largest municipal employee federation in the city.
“We estimate that we commend the right thing and work with us to issue health care costs for workers in the city.”
ANTHEM's decision also came after NYC Brad Land, a separately, sent a big letter on Wednesday calling for full transparency. Before Anthem reflected, Lander threatened with a spokesman for the insurance company.
“The office is ready to exercise his investigation powers to reach the bottom of this,” Lander, Olawatna Campbell, told Lander to the Post on Friday.
“New York residents deserve hospitals that give priority for profits and health care system transparent and fair and deserves their confidence,”
