Learn Secrets of Successful Consumer-directed Health Plans
from HealthPartners, Aetna and Mercer
Aetna, HealthPartners and Mercer Consulting will share strategies for boosting participation in and C-suite support for
consumer-directed health plans (CDHPs) during Essential Keys To Success for Consumer-Directed Health Plans, a June 26, 2008 webinar from the Healthcare Intelligence Network.
June 4, 2008
MANASQUAN, NJ, USA — According to a 2008 Watson Wyatt health survey that questioned 453 large U.S. employers, nearly half — 47 percent — of companies in the United States offer CDHPs to their employees. As part of an overall trend toward
healthcare consumerism, the number of employees enrolled in CDHPs has doubled in the last two years alone, and with good reason: health cost increases for companies offering CDHPs are nearly half as much as those offering traditional health plans. But for CDHPs to succeed, certain elements must be present. During “Essential Keys To Success for Consumer-Directed Health Plans,” June 26, 2008 webinar, industry experts will describe these elements and how they translate into increased adoption and results.

QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:
Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.
“Healthcare premiums account for a large percentage of corporate spending, and these numbers are only going up. Consumer-directed health plans may be the answer for both large and small employers looking for new ways to contain costs while encouraging
healthcare consumerism. By putting the employee in charge of the quality and cost of their healthcare, companies can control healthcare expenditures while increasing employee responsibility for healthcare decisions.”
