Discover the data behind the policy solutions to the state's healthcare challenges.
The Technical Team is comprised of a team of experts in healthcare economics, health policy and related fields who work collaboratively to set healthcare cost growth and primary care spending benchmarks for the next five years, 2026-2030.
The technical team recommended that the cost growth benchmark use a 20/80 weighting of the growth in CT potential gross state product and the growth of CT median income. The resulting value of the benchmark was 2.9%. The 2024 target was adjusted to 4.0% due to the impact of inflation. The 2025 target will remain at 2.9%. Each year the Commissioner evaluates the impact of inflation to determine if a change to the benchmark target is warranted.
