"Look, we think competition is good," Anthony V. Coletta, president of Independence's facilitated health networks, said in a statement. "What we said all along was that we didn't want to fund a competitor. We didn't want to give a competitor our tools that we share with our provider partners or our facilitated health network proprietary information. We're not going to get into specifics, but suffice it to say that this agreement resolves that concern with firewalls and guidelines around data usage, data sharing, and our proprietary and confidential information."
