The agency works with vendors selected through competitive bidding to offer cost-effective benefits produced with careful plan design and rigorous ongoing management. The agency's performance goals are to provide affordable, high quality benefits and to use its position as the largest employer purchaser of health insurance in the Commonwealth to drive improvements in the health care system.
