From the editors of Health Plan Week and Inside Health Insurance Exchanges

The health reform law — and subsequent uncertainty over how the reforms will be implemented — has pushed insurers and employers to comply with the law while seeking out market-based strategies to control medical and administrative costs. And with or without reform, enrollees are expected to take a greater role in selecting and purchasing health insurance, leading insurers to adopt retail-focused marketing and branding strategies that target the end user.

Next-Generation Insurance Benefit Design and Marketing takes a look at how insurers already are working to refine their benefit design and marketing strategies — by creating narrower provider networks, offering more high-deductible account-based options, launching private insurance exchanges, engaging customers in adopting healthy lifestyles and recasting themselves as consumer-friendly entities focused on helping members improve the quality of their lives.

With separate sections devoted to insurers’ efforts in plan design and rebranding, Next-Generation Insurance Benefit Design and Marketing paints a complete picture of the new environment insurers must compete in. Order today!
