The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Aetna, Inc.

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Publicly traded entity (e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

Aetna offers a broad range of traditional and consumer-directed health insurance products and related services, including medical, pharmacy, dental, behavioral health, group life and disability plans, and medical management capabilities and health care management services for Medicaid plans. Aetna also offers an Aetna Medicare Plan. This project involves the estimation of existing Health Insurance Exchange risk adjustment models under the Affordable Care Act, and incorporation of them into a simulation model to test new potential risk-adjustment technologies. The purpose of the simulation experiments is to evaluate whether the new methods are likely to correct incentives to undersupply services to mental health and other chronic conditions in the new Health Insurance Exchanges under the Affordable Care Act.

Listed Research Project
Mental Health Coverage and Payment in Private Health Plans

As of January 1, 2014, US citizens and legal residents who are not eligible for employer-sponsored or public coverage will be able to purchase health insurance through new state-level health insurance markets, referred to as 'Exchanges.' Persons with mental illness and other chronic conditions need special protection in private health insurance markets. This project assesses the incentives to health plans in Exchanges to undersupply care to these groups, develops a solution to this problem by modifying the way plans are paid, and applies this solution to the very large data sets used by the federal government to calibrate payment models.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
