To compare what commercial insurers paid for health care in Maryland against four other regions across the country, Hilltop partnered with the Maryland Health Care Commission in an initiative led by the Network for Regional Healthcare Improvement (NRHI). The study used a standard measure of costs from HealthPartners of Minnesota and required Hilltop to analyze 2014 data from Maryland’s all payer claims database. NRHI recently published an updated report using 2015 data. Maryland was consistently the lowest cost of the five regions studied.
