ACA Implications for State Network Adequacy Standards
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Aug. 28, 2013
"Network adequacy refers to a health plan's ability to deliver the benefits promised by providing reasonable access to a sufficient number of in-network primary care and specialty physicians, as well as all and other health care services included under the terms of the contract. Taken together with the Essential Health Benefits (EHB) package ... network adequacy standards will determine what care is covered and how easily it can be obtained. States have taken different approaches in regulating the adequacy of health plan networks.... This brief explores some of the discrepancies that can arise with varying network adequacy standards and provides examples of how some states have resolved such issues."
