APMA Elevates Concerns as Congress Questions Health Insurance CEOs

The House Ways & Means Committee and Energy & Commerce Health Subcommittee hosted a concurrent congressional hearing focused on health insurance practices and affordability last week. Both hearings included the CEOs from UnitedHealth Group, CVS Health, Elevance Health, Cigna Group, and Ascendiun as witnesses.

Before the hearing, APMA collaborated with congressional champions on both committees to submit questions for lawmakers to ask. Additionally, APMA submitted joint statements to the committees voicing concerns on upcoding, prior authorization, Medicare Advantage, and financial stability.
