This discussion is specious. There are a number of statements (several shown in "existing wording" which are, in the broad sense, true but are not addressed by this IG. Either revise section to address benefits of this IG, or clarify that these are potential benefits of broad availablity of health plan/consumer information exchange.

Existing Wording:

A consumers right to access their health data can include an opt-in provision allowing sharing of their historical health information with their health plan

Reduced administrative expenses for payers resulting from the migration of expensive care management into consumer self-management ....

Reduced medical expenses for consumers and payers resulting from more efficient use, fewer repeat diagnostic tests, and lower overall demand for health care services.

Redirected use of health care services away from facility and office-based care to a less expensive setting through the efficient use of telemedicine and telehealth.

Reduced gaps in care will benefit payers when consumers and providers share vital information regarding chronic illnesses.
