New Strategies in the Growth of Consumer Driven Healthcare, Live Audio-Conference on CD-ROM
Managed Care Information Center, Nov 2005
New Strategies in The Growth of Consumer Driven Healthcare is a CD Rom of the Conference, which includes conference materials.
Pushed by the federal governments embrace of consumer decision-making along with soaring costs of healthcare, employers and health plans are adopting consumer driven health plans.
Then, the legislation providing for the creation of tax deductible health savings accounts (HSAs) as part of the recently enacted Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, fueled the keen interest by employers and MCOs alike.
During 2004, many leading health plans around the country teamed with financial institutions to develop HSAs.
In 2003, 11 percent of companies offered such plans and enrollment stood at 500,000.
This year, it is estimated that the numbers will swell to 2.7 million individuals and reach $16 billion in premiums. By 2007, it is projected that CDHC plans will earn $88 billion and have a 7 percent market share, up from just 2 percent in 2005.
'New Strategies in the Growth of Consumer Driven Healthcare' a new executive-level tele-briefing was held on Thursday, Feb. 3, 2005 at 1:30 PM Eastern time.
Consumer-driven healthcare plans and employee benefit plans to foster more consumerism among employees are among the top five areas of concern to employee benefit specialists, according to the International Society of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists and the Human Capital Practice of Deloitte Consulting LLP.
Indeed, Mercer Human Resource Consulting reported that in a survey of 991 employers, nearly three-quarters said it is very likely (19 percent) or somewhat likely (54 percent) that they will offer their workers a health savings account with a high-deductible health plan by 2006.
