The signing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) into law in 2010 along with subsequent provisions and amendments taking into effect from 2011 to 2013 marked a complete transformation of the U.S healthcare eco-system. The ACA represents a landmark moment that has affected the entire healthcare community, including citizens, businesses, healthcare payers & insurance companies and healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, and physicians). As employees seek better and more affordable options, healthcare payers and providers have the mandate to drive down costs, expand coverage, as well as innovate to improve the quality of healthcare services. Healthcare payers and providers need to plan, configure, and implement the ACAs new regulations into an integrated delivery model.
