Transparency Initiatives
We are initiating numerous efforts to make health care more affordable. These initiatives support cost savings and increased access to high-quality health care by linking provider payments to coordinated high-quality health care delivery. These approaches shift the health care system's focus from illness to wellness. They also reward services and treatments that encourage healthy behaviors. This, in turn, helps lower people's risk for developing chronic conditions.
