As a precursor to the Massachusetts Division of Health Care Finance and Policy’s (DHCFP) legally mandated hearings on health care cost trends, the division posted numerous resources analyzing the state’s health care market place as well as insurer and provider claim trends.  The resources, compiled by the DHCFP, the Division of Insurance, and the Office of the Attorney General, will provide the basis for the March 16 hearings at which stakeholders will seek to generate recommendations to lower the state’s health care costs.
