OVERVIEW
During the past few years, new options for "consumer-directed" health plans have attracted considerable interest and debate and have enrolled several million participants. Such plans generally combine a high-deductible health insurance policy with a tax-sheltered account that enrollees may use to finance their out-of-pocket costs for health care services. The central idea behind such designs is that policy holders will remain insured against catastrophic expenses but will be more careful about their use of services than they would be under a conventional health insurance plan that provides greater coverage of their initial health care costs. Yet, at the same time, concerns have been raised that such plans will have only a small impact on total health care spending and could adversely affect individuals who have high levels of health care costs.
This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study -- prepared at the request of the Chairman of the House Budget Committee -- examines in detail the potential effects of consumer-directed plan designs, analyzing the impact they may have on the use of health care, the prices and quality of health care services, and the health of enrollees. The report also explores the incentives for enrollment in consumer-directed plans and the potential effect of that enrollment on markets for health insurance.
Phil Ellis, the principal author of the recent and highly publicized CBO report on Consumer Driven Care discusses and elaborates on findings from the report.
