The goal of the Healthcare Administrative Simplification Coalition (HASC) is to reduce administrative complexity and cost in healthcare. Unnecessarily complex or duplicative administrative processes waste billions of dollars each year in our nation’s healthcare system. Organized in 2005 by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), the coalition has expanded to include physicians, hospitals, health plans, employers and others dedicated to identifying and reducing unnecessary administrative complexity and cost in healthcare.
