How Capitol Street Clients Use Our Health Insurance and Provider Research
We identify impactful payment and regulatory trends that are often lost on experts, and those that simply look at one or two aspects of healthcare.
We provide real-time and in-depth analysis of healthcare legislation, trends among payors and healthcare stakeholders, and policies that originate from healthcare agencies (CMS, FTC, DOJ), think tanks and other bodies (MedPAC, BPC, AEI, Brookings) and Capitol Hill.
We also preview, review and analyze Supreme Court and lower court case proceedings that are relevant to our healthcare clients.
For example, our clients use Capitol Street to piece together Part D and Medicare Advantage rate notices, along with CMMI demonstrations. We weave together the health insurance plan communications, along with the actions of the national health insurance trade organizations. We track NAIC (National Association of Insurance Commissioners) discussions and recommendations, along with Medicaid Directors and policy implementation on the State level. We also look to the viability of federal policies that may be more pie-in-the-sky like a Public Option or Medicare for All, along with specific impact on hospitals, providers and health plans.
Our Health Services research include:
Monitoring and analysis of relevant policy, legislation, Executive Orders, and policy recommendations from MedPAC, other bodies, along with likelihood of implementation or finalization
Deep-Dive reports on key policy actions and trends including Medicare, MA, Commercial, Individual & Small Group Market & Medicaid.
