18. Main role
Dave Ness – vice president of Compensation and Benefits of Minneapolis- based Medtronic
DECISION MAKING: health care insurance choices offered to employees next year
He had launched Definity Health

19. Definity Health A new program, two years ago
Founded to offer a new kind of CDH plan (CDH)
Consistent with Medtronic’s human resource and business strategy of encouraging CDH care
CDH: Consumer-Driven Health

20. CDH Consumer-Driven Health Care
Enabled employees to choose from a larger and more diverse menu of plan options, thus restoring their autonomy, and controlled cost through their direct management of health care expenditures.
The impetus for CDHC was the growing power of health care consumers who searched the Internet for health care information and spent more than $80 billion out of their own pockets for alternative health care services, such as acupuncture.
Direct, flexible management and coverage for preventive health care.

22. Definity Health’s plan consisted of 3 elements
A personal care account (PCA) = health reimbursement account (HRA)
Employers contributed to the account
Employees used the money to pay for health care expenses from their chosen provider.
Preventive care was 100% paid for and was not charged against the wmployee’s HRA balance.
Comprehensive health coverage
The plan had three levels of deductibles from which employees could choose
Health tools and resources
A broad array of resources to support member health and wellness decision-making available online and by phone.

24. Buyers Health Care Action Group (BHCAG)
Essentially disintermediated the insurers to strengthen the connection between providers and their patients. It contracted directly with integrated networks of physicians and enabled consumers to choose providers, with the help of readily accessible out-of-pocket price and satisfaction information

25. Decision making: Health care insurance choices offered to employees next year
Also wondered what additional metrics he should use to measure the plan’s success or failure.
He also wanted to revisit the decision not to include BHCAG among Medtronic’s offerings.

26. in iEnjorange
We are one part of health tools and resources (one of three elements in Definity Health’s plan) to provide some preventive information or some recommendation lift-style to users.
In Taiwan, CDH concept is not used so far. According to the trend, insurance company should adopt this type of insurance and we may provide some mechanism to let the users choose their own activity through their direct management in order to their future health.
If we want to suggest insurance company to adopt the plan we provide, we should do the metrics analysis to measure our plan.
