Balanced billing is definitely messed up when you read about the cases profiled in the media, but hospitals do need to recoup the revenue lost from commercial payers lowballing the hospital because it isn’t in their pay-to-play contract networks. So I think balance billing should be eliminated but also that hospitals should be allowed to recoup additional cost from the patients, maybe up to the reasonable value (based on typical geographic rates) for the services provided.

Sr Analyst, why would you try to extract money out of the patient for the hospital’s inability to contract well with the payor?

it’s already illegal in many states. trending toward nationwide, albeit slowly

I work at UHG and I have no opinion 😂🤓

Agree— lack of transparency makes people hate the system as a whole.

We’re considering adding wearables tracking to pull in health metrics for a wellness app. Let’s say we plan on doing iOS only and one approach is only doing apple health integration, while another is to use a 3rd party aggregator like Validic or Humanapi to integrate once and get access to Fitbit, Oura, WearOS, and tons of other wearables. Which route would you suggest?
