News » Advocacy group reacts to health plan changes
July 22, 2010
A major health insurance plan in the area is going to give people more options by letting them see doctors at Affinity Health and Theda Care.
The Network Health Plan is actually owned by Affinity, and the move impacts about 115,000 people.
Robert Kraig of Wisconsin Citizen Action says there are positives to the move because it could lead to more choices, competition and better quality if doctors work closely together on treatment plans.
Wisconsin Citizen Action advocates for improved health care in the state.
Kraig says there are also some potential negatives. He says it's possible that Affinity and Theda Care could become less competitive if both systems are covered by most insurance carries. He says that could lead to fewer choices, and higher prices, in the future.
The changes in the Network Health Plan won't lead to higher insurance premiums, and they'll take effect August 1. |
