The Performance of Provider-sponsored Health Plans

In this study, the research team sought to compare the performance of provider-sponsored health plans (PSHPs) versus the three largest nonprovider- sponsored health plans (NPSHPs) in their markets, based on publicly reported data for the period 2011-2013. The findings indicate that the performance of all health plans—PSHPs and NPSHPs—varieswidely and changes frequently from year to year.
