CDH Premiums: Are They The New Benchmark?

An audioconference on Thursday, October 12th, 2006
1 PM Eastern (10 AM Pacific)

Please join us on Thursday, October 12, 2006 at 1:00pm Eastern!  Employers are strongly pushing CDH accounts for one main reason: to lower their premium trend. Insurers are rushing into CDH accounts to drive their premiums lower. But this ultra-low premium trend must keep slowing -- to almost zero -- to avoid a worsening crisis in "affordability” such as average $20,000 family premiums. That leaves a big question: Will HSAs and HRAs be good enough to impact the cost of health insurance across the entire U.S. market? And will these new ultra-low CDH premiums be the new benchmark for the old products?

Individual Registration Fee: $195: Web Summit CD-ROM: $20 for attendees; $225 for non-attendees after the event. 
Corporate Site licensing also available.

This session brings you up to speed on the latest research data on CDH premiums and costs, then puts it into perspective:

• How HSA and HRA premiums actually work, and how to compare them

• The latest results on CDH premiums versus existing products

• Five ways in which CDH accounts will indirectly lower systemwide costs

• The 'perfect model' for leveraging CDH to slow health plan premium trend

All registered attendees will receive a complimentary reprint copy of the Health Market Survey Mid-Year Financial Outlook 2006 which contains a groundbreaking new analysis of the impact of CDH on health plans, including specific predictions for health premiums over the next 5 years.
