Health Plan Rate Setting: Balancing Premium Increases Against Regulatory Oversight

Summary: In an atmosphere of increased state and federal oversight of health plan rates, healthcare organizations need a sound strategy for determining premium rate increases that meet regulatory approval. HealthScape Advisors managing directors Steve Young and John Steele describe the challenges of setting rates in this environment and the essential experience that can best prepare health plans for dealing with commercial plans. Young and Steele will share how health plans can develop a sound policy for premium rate increases that will meet with regulatory approval during "Health Plan Rate Setting: Balancing Premium Increases Against Regulatory Oversight," a 45-minute webinar on December 8, 2010.
