Insurance exchanges — private as well as public — are expected to dramatically reshape the way individuals and employers purchase health coverage. They are set to redefine age-old business models for health insurers … and are sure to create tremendous new opportunities and challenges for all of the major players in health care.

Renew your subscription to Inside Health Insurance Exchanges to keep reading the industry’s top source of business news and analysis in this important new field.

Continue receiving a constant flow of timely news and strategies, and answers to these and other big-dollar questions:

• Who will be running the multi-carrier exchanges? WellPoint, Inc. joined with two large Blues plans to take a majority interest in Bloom Health, and Aon Hewitt developed its own private exchange for large employers. Several other carriers have launched exchanges and more are on the drawing board.
• How many carriers will participate in state exchanges? Some states have already announced plans to limit participation in their insurance exchanges. But other states are looking to attract new competitors. How is this likely to shake out as October 2013 approaches?
• How will the “essential health benefits” package impact insurers? HHS indicated that states would be allowed to choose their own “benchmark” plan. And that could add more administrative cost for insurers who will be forced to administer different plans in different states.
• Will exchanges mean more members and bigger profits? While the combination of private and state exchanges will mean new distribution channels for insurers, a shift among employers toward defined-contribution benefits could have a big impact on profitability for large health insurers.
• Will provider groups build their own insurance entities? Some providers could decide to form their own CO-OPs, HMOs or provider networks to market their services directly through an exchange.
