Digit Insurance’s Goyal says co-pay alone won’t cut healthcare costs
In short
Digit Insurance chairman Kamesh Goyal said co-payments alone cannot control healthcare costs. He said hospitals need clearer pricing, insurance products should be simpler, and expense rules should match retail customers’ costs.
This matters for patients and insurers because it points to broader changes needed beyond co-pay. It is still unknown whether any company or regulator will act on these ideas.
