On December 28, 2010, the Obama Administration published a request for information regarding how group health plans and health insurance issuers can employ value-based insurance design in the coverage of recommended preventive services. The notice seeks information on, among other issues: specific plan design tools to incentivize patient behavior; how to identify high-value treatment settings, providers, and delivery mechanisms; and ways to ensure that patients with particular co-morbidities or other special circumstances receive the medically-appropriate level of care. Comments are due February 28, 2011.
