A story in Becker's Hospital Review cited a study published in the December 2022 issue of The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®).

The article, “How Health Insurance Providers Are Tackling Social Barriers to Health,” noted that investing in prevention is key to healthier people, healthier communities, and lower health care costs, with health insurance providers and other health care professionals increasingly investing in innovative solutions that address social barriers to health and wellness, also referred to as social determinants of health.
