Parkview Prices Fall For 3rd Straight Year, New Indiana Legislature Report Shows

Posted

FORT WAYNE – Parkview Health’s commercial prices have declined for three years straight, according to the 2025 Milliman Hospital Price Benchmarking Analysis. The study was required under House Enrolled Act 1004 (2023) and issued by the Indiana Department of Insurance. It reveals that Parkview remained below Indiana’s statutory 285% of Medicare benchmark in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
The Milliman report found Parkview’s total contracted commercial prices were:
• 278% of Medicare in 2022
• 272% of Medicare in 2023
• 262% of Medicare in 2024
All three years remain under the state benchmark and show a steady downward trend, with 2024 falling 23 percentage points below the threshold.
“These results affirm that our long-term affordability strategy is working,” said Dr. Jason Row, president, Parkview Physicians Group, and chief value transformation officer, Parkview Health. “Perhaps more importantly, we’re not slowing down. We implemented a number of new strategies to lower the total cost of care in 2025 as well and look forward to seeing these initiatives continue to make care more affordable and accessible for patients and employers.
“The state’s analysis reflects the dedication of our teams who work tirelessly to innovate, streamline workflows and ensure we’re providing the right care, in the right place, at the right time,” Row stated. “But we also understand that affordability is not a single project, it's a systemwide commitment. From reducing medical debt to expanding lower-cost care settings, we’re focused on doing what’s right for our patients and our communities.”
