Scale can in fact create a number of benefits for health insurers, including administrative cost efficiency, better contracted rates, and the ability to deliver innovative next-generation offerings that require technology, fixed cost investments, and customization. And though large, at scale plans can achieve significant savings, the degree to which scale impacts the total cost equation is limited by the fact that the influence on medical cost is generally lower.
