California Health Benefits Review Program (CHBRP)

California Health Benefits Review Program (CHBRP) provides the California Legislature with timely, independent, and accurate analyses of proposed legislation (bills) that would mandate health insurance benefits (or repeal existing mandates). CHBRP relies heavily on university-based faculty and researchers, and since 2003, has completed reports on more than 90 bills. Each report: • Summarizes scientific evidence regarding the medical effectiveness of clinical interventions relevant to the proposed benefit mandate or repeal, • Estimates the impact on benefit coverage, costs, utilization, and public health. The reports make no recommendations, deferring all policy decision-making to the Legislature. CHBRP is required to complete its reports no later than 60 days after a Legislative committee requests an analysis.
