At the same time, the editors of Consumer Driven Market Report are developing their own prognostications.
For the first time, the editors of these two publications offer insights and predictions about these coming trends and what company managers are saying about their the key factors in choosing one option over the other. These results are summarized and discussed in this hard-hitting, no-holds barred program for company managers, provider marketing managers and others concerned about healthcare trends.
Both editors promise to provide new, unpublished insights into HSAs, FSAs, and HRAs during this one-hour seminar.
