Academy Health: Reference pricing as an alternative to selective contracting

Austin Frakt

September 12, 2013

A fascinating, new article on reference pricing by James Robinson and Timothy Brown appeared in the August issue of Health Affairs. The well-articulated market context caught my eye. I describe them and the paper’s results in a new AcademyHealth post. Do I have to beg you to click through? OK, I’m begging!
