Are public and private health insurance reimbursement policies barriers to adoption of appropriate technologies? How can these be overcome?
There are a variety of barriers to widespread adoption of helpful technologies – provider knowledge, geographic access, consumer acceptance, a qualified workforce – but financial incentives and reimbursement polices are among the most significant. Influencing policy that leads to progressive reimbursement policies is an important Center goal. We will advance policy recommendations that inform state and federal agencies, legislative bodies, associations and provider groups. The Center will focus on collaborating with organizations that already have a strong policy orientation.
