Website refresh

We are including the agenda and other meeting materials in this announcement. This is because we’re currently working on refreshing the www.hca.wa.gov website, which will go live in mid-September. You can still access the Health Care Cost Transparency Board webpages; however, no new webpage content—including materials for this meeting—will show until September 13.

You can also request meeting materials by emailing our team at HCAHCCTBoard@hca.wa.gov.
