The Smarter Health Care Coalition represents a broad-based and diverse group of health care innovators, including consumer groups, employers, patient advocacy organizations, health plans, and life science companies dedicated to the goal of lowering or removing financial barriers to essential, high-value clinical services.
We aim to leverage our combined perspectives to achieve “smarter health care” that improves the patient experience through innovative benefit designs that better align coverage, quality, and payment goals.
