Provider organizations across the nation are exploring the benefits of vertical integration, and an increasing number of systems are choosing to offer their own health plans. However, due to the risk involved, launching a health plan is not the right choice for all provider organizations.

Additionally, few plans have acquired enough enrollees to effectively manage risk or be competitive in the market, according to the report.
