New Cycle of Rate Review Grants Support State Efforts on Increasing Price Transparency

Earlier this month, CMS released a third cycle of Rate Review Grants - Grants to States to Support Health Insurance Rate Review and Increase Transparency in Health Care Pricing, Cycle III of the Rate Review Grant Program.

This cycle of funding continues to support rate review efforts in states and bolsters state’s ability to establish or enhance data centers which collect, analyze, and publish reimbursement and health pricing data. This is an exciting opportunity for states particularly interested in building all-payer claims databases.

Letters of intent must be submitted by June 17, 2013. Applications are due August 1, 2013.

Additional information can be found on the Center for Consumer Information & Insurance Oversightwebsite.
