Posted in Health Policy

By Elizabeth Carpenter

Each week, our Health Policy team recaps recent health care developments in two reports, Weekly Health Care Wrap-Up and Health Insurance Exchanges: State of the States.

Weekly Health Care Wrap-Up is our weekly look at regulatory developments affecting health care at the federal and state level. Last week, CMS announced that over 500 organizations will begin participating in the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Initiative and PCORI announced it  is seeking patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers and other health care stakeholders to fill positions on four advisory panels.

Health Insurance Exchanges: State of the States update is our weekly State of the States report on Health Insurance Exchange developments. Last Wednesday,  the IRS and HHS issued proposed rules covering the individual mandate, exemptions from the individual mandate and rules on eligibility for premium tax credits when an employee has access to employer provided health insurance.
