NAIC is conducting a transparent and thorough process as it develops the
MLR definition, but the current proposal could have the unintended
consequence of turning-back-the-clock on efforts to improve patient
safety, enhance the quality of care, and fight fraud. Preserving
patients’ access to high-quality health care services is essential if
the key goals of health care reform are to be achieved.” Karen Ignagni,
President and CEO, America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) |
