What impact will the country’s current financial crisis have on CDHP if any? Is CDHP all that it is cracked up to be? Are employers seeing the results they hoped for? What impact, if any, has there been on healthcare providers? Will the plans become a mainstay of healthcare coverage, as earlier predicted?
This program has been organized to focus on the growth of CDHP plans, what’s ahead for the immediate future, and assess the long term chances for real success and adoption of the CDHP plans, first introduced in 2001.
There is a disconnect between major employer interest in CDHPs, the creation of new plans, and the actual movement in member enrollment numbers, according to several industry surveys and data developed by the Managed Care Information Center.
Employers see the chance to help save on the soaring costs of health benefits through consumer directed healthcare and that’s why managed care organizations have launched CDHPs. CDHPs increased by 43 percent from 2007, and now comprise nearly 13 percent of all plans offered by employers, found a survey by United Benefit Advisors. But enrollment in the plans still makes up a small segment of the overall insurance market, according to an EBRI/Commonwealth Fund Consumerism in Healthcare Survey.
