Regs Posted on CO-OPs

HHS released regs on an alternative to health insurers--CO-OPs. According to the regs these entities must:

  1. Be non-profit,
  2. Use an integrated care model,
  3. Be member-run, and
  4. Be approved by the state insurance department
I think some ACOs are natural candies for this alternative since they will already have an integrated care model in place. HHS wants at least on CO-OP in every state and will make over $3,5B in loans available.
