Consumers might do a better job of shopping for health care if providers did a better job of providing price and quality information, actuaries say.
The Society of Actuaries (SOA), Schaumburg, Ill., gauged actuaries’ views on health care price and quality information by surveying about 600 members of the SOA health section.
The SOA also commissioned a separate survey of 1,000 U.S. residents ages 18 and older.
