Health Care Spending And Quality In Rhode Island 2024

Statewide spending on health care for Rhode Islanders totaled nearly $9 billion
in 2022. This spending constitutes a significant share of Rhode Island’s economy,
the state budget, employee compensation, and household expenses. The Office
of the Health Insurance Commissioner (OHIC) measures health care spending growth
and provides insights into the distribution and drivers of health care spending in the
state. These insights are necessary for effective oversight of the health care system
and to support shared accountability among insurers, providers and government for
making health care affordable.
