Consumer-Directed Health Plan Unveiled
October 2, 2002 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - America's Choice
Healthplans, Inc. and CareGain, Inc. will join forces in
order to offer HealthAssets, a portable consumer-directed
healthcare benefit plan.
Reported by Fred Schneyer
According to an announcement from the companies, the partnership combines America’s Choice health plan administrative experience with CareGain’s prior work online.
The companies contended that a company offering HealthAssets might well save money by giving employees a vested interest in managing their own health care benefit plan.
America’s Choice will make HealthAssets available for the
2003 open enrollment period. HealthAssets will be
available as a complete replacement plan or alongside
other plan options for all companies with more than 50
employees, the announcement said.
