Health Plan Week on CD.

With health care reform and other dynamic changes ahead, some health plans will succeed in transforming new opportunities and negative economic and political forces into smart business strategies ... and emerge with a strong bottom line. Their success will be driven by their ability to:

Quickly access, interpret and forecast abrupt changes from the states, CMS and an employer market that is being squeezed by the hostile economy.
Retool business strategies to make sure they are going with — and not fighting — strong trends like the shift from employer-based to individual coverage.
Avoid the “rock and hard place” of ever-increasing medical costs and premium hikes that are severely limited by competitive and regulatory pressures ... and tapped-out customers.
Track the brave new world ahead for health plans under health care reform, with timely, insightful coverage of proposals that could soon create:
- A “public option” for health insurance reform
- New “health insurance exchanges”
- Taxation of employee benefits
- An increase in lifetime benefits
- New federal oversight of state mandates
- Simplified administrative processes for health plans
- New prevention and wellness incentives
  …and much more

Health Plan Week is a resource you can depend on for timely, insightful information on how you can:

Make the most of exciting new opportunities ahead under health care reform
Retain and grow group enrollment,
Stake out a foothold in the individual market,
Prepare for possible coverage-expansion initiatives, and
Discover ways to maintain Medicare Advantage and Part D profit margins.

Subscribers to Health Plan Week also receive Key Financial Indicators for Leading Health Plans, a quarterly spreadsheet with up-to-date financial data points for 50 leading health plans.
