For Immediate ReleaseContact: press@consumers4qualitycare.org
Consumers for Quality Care, along with Global Liver Institute, National Hispanic Medical Association, Black Woman’s Health Imperative, Autism Speaks, National Partnership for Women & Families, and Epilepsy Foundation, commented on the new proposed rule for Associated Health Plans. CQC raised a number of concerns that the new rule could result in substandard coverage, higher rates of fraud for consumers, and new barriers that restrict states protecting their people.
