The California Office of Health Care Affordability aims to increase insurers’ spending on primary care to 15% by 2034 in order to improve access to preventive care services and overall health outcomes for Californians. This target is set well above the current industry rate of 7%. The agency believes that health plans can incentivize providers to increase spending on primary care, ultimately leading to an expansion of the primary care workforce and better health management for patients. California faces a shortage of primary care providers, and increasing spending on primary care is seen as a way to address this issue and improve health outcomes across the state.
