Reference-Based Pricing for State Employee Healthcare

States waste millions of dollars by not adopting best practices for employee health plans and taking resources away from public safety, education, and other priorities. Our reference-based pricing reform rewards patients for choosing high-quality lower-cost or free care by allowing them to share in the savings with a rebate. When state employees are incentivized to choose care options based on value, states save money and market-based pricing expands across healthcare providers, including in the private insurance markets.
