'A Medical Bill You Can Understand' - Coming Soon?

Image: BCBS of ND
At this year’s Health DataPalooza event, the HHS, AARP and the MadPow design agency announced a challenge to help design “A Bill You Can Understand." The challenge is intended to solicit new approaches and draw national attention to a common complaint with the health care system in the United States: medical bills and the financial information they contain are hard to understand and use.

In this post I'm providing information on this challenge and what I believe are some information of potential value to those interested in the challenge and/or who are intending to participate.


Official Information


Judges & Advisory Panel

Submissions will be accepted until August 10, 2016 and winners will be announced in September 2016.
