Rising healthcare costs in the United States have become a topic of heated national debate and maternity care has been earmarked as a big driver of high-cost claims for large employers and health insurers. The system is likely to reduce financial incentives for hospitals to charge more for expensive procedures such as C-sections as they will no longer be able to make separate claims for each doctor’s visit, treatment or test provided during and after pregnancy.
UnitedHealth’s program has been deployed at two healthcare providers so far and the company plans to expand the effort to as many as 20 care provider groups by end of the year.
