Time will tell whether empowering the health care consumer will lower utilization and increase patient satisfaction. What is clear? Consumer-directed health (CDH) plans are gobbling up increasing market share and are a strong force to be reckoned with in the years to come. These plans are penetrating the managed care market at twice the rate that HMOs did!

This edition of Consumer-Directed Health Care: Facts, Trends and Data provides timely intelligence on this growing CDH phenomenon and is packed with results, plan designs, strategies, directories and other practical information.

The CDH industry has been changing so rapidly that you need the most current information you can get just to keep up. Almost every major health insurer now has a CDH product, and consumer education techniques now are being cited as essential components of traditional health plans as well.

This edition of the factbook features:
