HCFO researcher Mark Hall, J.D., Wake Forest University, recently released a report [1]on his study examining employers’ use of a health insurance exchange in Massachusetts. The Healthcare Payer News featured Hall's work in a digest [2]on health insurance exchange news, citing his findings on the barriers to small group employer participation in the Massachusetts Connector. Hall found that the lack of financial incentives for small group employers to purchase insurance through the exchange limited their participation.
