Health Plan Week is a weekly 8-page newsletter written for busy health care executives to provide the business, financial and regulatory news of the health insurance industry that can help you make the most of opportunities and protect your organization’s bottom line. Each issue is packed with strategies and insight from experts to help you:

Ensure benefit design and underwriting practices meet rigorous new requirements mandated by health reform – while still maintaining profitability.
Quickly access, interpret and forecast abrupt changes from the states, HHS, CMS and an employer market that is being strained by the economy.
Retool business strategies to make sure they are going with – and not fighting – strong trends such as the shift from employer-based to individual coverage.

Subscribers to Health Plan Week also receive Key Financial Indicators for Leading Health Plans, a quarterly spreadsheet with up-to-date financial data points for 50 leading health plans. Each quarter, subscribers will receive — both via e-mail and printed in the newsletter — an Excel file that compares nine indicators, including premium revenue, medical, pharmacy and administrative costs, and net income (or loss). This unique data, priced at $141 per quarter, is a FREE component of your Health Plan Week subscription! Click here for more information about Key Financial Indicators for Leading Health Plans.

With the enormous changes ahead under health care reform, success depends on your ability to analyze current events and smartly adapt to them. Health Plan Week is a reliable source for timely guidance on how you can:

Avoid the many pitfalls and take advantage of the major changes ahead under health care reform
Retain and grow group enrollment
Stake out a foothold in the individual market
Identify which Medicaid markets show greatest promise in expansion
Meet strict new Medicare rules for medical loss ratios, quality payments and other changes
