Because of the federal reporting requirements, Healthy Kids extensive data on utilization of services, and was able to negotiate reductions in premiums three times during the first two years of the program. Data reflecting appropriate utilization of services and the relative good health of children continues to be utilized when negotiating new contracts for medical services with health care providers and health maintenance organizations. ...
