MANASQUAN,
N.J. — Consumer-driven
health plans (CDHPs) continue to be considered the solution to reducing
healthcare costs and the roles of the uninsured in the nation.
The Bush administration is touting the value of
CDHPs, particularly the HSA. Even CMS has gotten onto the CDHP
bandwagon by conducting a CDHP Medicare demonstration with medical
savings accounts (MSAs).
Although some politicians and insurance plans
believe that the future of healthcare is with CDHPs, many employers and
the general public are not convinced. Currently only three million
Americans – compared to 240 million in other private coverage
plans – are in consumer-driven health plans.
Will employers turn to CDHPs in greater numbers to
shift costs and responsibility for healthcare coverage onto the
employee? And how will the current healthcare infrastructure support
the consumer’s demand for more information, and much more
transparency? Are CDHPs actually changing consumers’ behavior
and reducing healthcare costs?
Join the Managed Care Information Center, The
Executive Report on Managed Care and experts in
consumer-driven healthcare for a discussion of the current trends and
future expectations in the 90-minute audio conference, “Consumer- Driven
Healthcare: Key Drivers and Future Market Adoption.” This
executive-level program has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 8, 2007 at
1:30 PM Eastern Time.
