ISBN: 9781507868003 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA, P.L. 111-148) requires certain health insurers to provide consumer rebates if they do not meet a set financial target known as a medical loss ratio (MLR).

In general, the higher the MLR, the more value a policyholder receives for his or her premium dollar. The ACA...
