Program Content and Objectives

As central players in U.S. healthcare reform, insurers find themselves in the midst of a radical transformation. Profound changes mandated by recent legislation will require corresponding changes in fundamental business practices in a compressed timeframe. Insurers must prepare simultaneously for developments that include the essential benefits package, medical loss ratio requirements, and insurance exchanges. These new provisions, and many others, must be implemented between 2010 and 2014. This presents numerous operational implications and strategic opportunities for insurers as they respond to these game-changing new regulatory requirements.

Sustained growth in this uncertain environment requires systematic planning, a clear vision for the future, a strategy for reaching it, and an implementation process to make it happen. In the scramble to comply with new regulations, many healthcare insurance companies are challenged to bring to bear the objectivity, time, and capabilities they need to make the decisions that will guide their future.

This webinar will provide guidance on how insurers should prepare for radical change to their business model. Key topics will include:

* Strategic implications of the essential health benefits package, MLR requirements, and insurance exchanges
* What it means to be an industry in transition and how to manage change in an uncertain environment
* How to harness economic and clinical value (ECV) as a source of sustainable competitive differentiation

The session will provide you with the latest insights on strategies for success, and a concise approach for evaluating your current efforts. Wherever you are on the implementation curve, this session will leave you clearer about what you’ve got in place, and what you might need to prepare for 2014.

The one-hour session will include a 35-40 minute discussion and review of critical issues, and 20-25 minutes for Q&A.
