The relationship between enrollees’ perceptions of health insurers’ tasks and their trust in them by Frank J. P. van der Hulst, Berdien A. Prins, Anne E. M. Brabers, Rob Timans, Judith D. de Jong

“…Results: A larger mismatch between enrollees’ expectations about health insurers’ tasks and their actual statutory tasks is related to less trust regarding the categories ‘controlling healthcare costs’ and ‘mediation and quality of care’. Second, a larger mismatch between expectations and actually performed tasks is related to less trust for all categories. …”
