Using Data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners for Health Reform Evaluation
This issue brief provides background on data collected by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) that can be used to evaluate marketplace responses—both within and across states—to new insurance regulations established by the ACA. Authors Pinar Karaca-Mandic and Jean M. Abraham, faculty members in the Division of Health Policy and Management at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, focus in particular on the Supplemental Health Care Exhibit (SHCE), which is a new NAIC exhibit developed to collect data specifically for health reform monitoring purposes.
This brief was prepared for the State Health Access Reform Evaluation (“State Network”) with support from SHADAC in its role as a State Network technical assistance provider.
