The vast majority of managed-care companies will offer consumer-driven health care plans within the next year, a new survey reveals.
Of health maintenance organizations and preferred providers organizations that responded to a survey question on CDH plans, 93% said they offer such plans or expect to do so by the end of next year, according to a Milliman Associates, Seattle.
CDH plans are high-deductible health care plans that carry an integrated health care savings account, such as a healthcare reimbursement account or health savings account.
“The still unanswered question remains, to what degree will employers and employees buy in” to CDH plans, observes Steve Cigich, author of the survey for Milliman, a benefits consulting firm.
