This paper examines the effects of reinsurance on the financial performance of health plans serving enrollees in a State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). We demonstrate that simple reinsurance policies can reduce substantially the variation in the financial performance of plans with different case mixes, even when the plans bear the cost of the reinsurance and are not fully insured against large expenditures on individual enrollees

It is unclear, however, whether risk adjustment should be based on standard logistic regression, fixed-effects or random-effects modeling. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine how robust the New York State (NYS) Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery Report Card is to changes in the underlying statistical methodology. METHODS: Retrospe…
