The project team will use a variety of data sets to quantify the impact of market concentration on prices and
premiums. Key data sources will include: the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation–Health Insurance Exchange Compare
premium data for 2014–2017, supplemented with Fund grantee Jon Gabel’s premium database; the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners’ Health InfoPro data for the 2010–2016 individual and group market; the
Health Care Cost Institute’s claims database for 2010–2014; 2010–2016 health care market concentration data from
the American Hospital Association’s Annual Hospital Survey; SK&A’s office‐based physicians database provided by IMS
Health; and the HealthLeaders–Interstudy managed market survey of health insurers.
