Abstract:
A report for the Kaiser Family Foundation by researchers at Georgetown University's Institute for Health Care Research and Policy finds that 42 states have external review programs to resolve disputes between health plans and consumers. Although consumers are granted relief about half the time on average, the report finds the programs are used infrequently.
