Health Plan Strategies for Value-Based Benefit Design examines the experiences of health plans and employers that have implemented value-based benefit design programs, and provides details of how companies adjusted copays and other benefits, provided incentives to join disease management programs, educated enrollees and measured results.

More health plans and self-insured employers are implementing value-based insurance design (VBID) programs that lower financial barriers to “high-value” pharmaceuticals, preventive care and other services in the hopes of avoiding more expensive medical costs down the road. These programs aren’t without challenges, both in implementation and measurement of results, and some industry experts contend that achieving a return on investment under a value-based program can be elusive. But some early adopters of these programs tell a different story.

Health Plan Strategies for Value-Based Benefit Design is filled with case studies from health plans and employers that have implemented value-based programs. The report also includes detailed presentations from pioneers in the VBID movement, with best practices — and key pitfalls to avoid — when launching a new program.

Learn the lessons of early VBID implementers — what works and what doesn’t? Order Health Plan Strategies for Value-Based Benefit Design and get the results of experiments in value-based benefit design programs that can put you on the path to realizing long-term savings.
