Consumer-driven health plans




Pharmacy Benefits Podcast show

Summary: Brian Bullock and Rob Shelley of The Burchfield Group discuss CDHP drug plans for employers and employees. CDHPs, or high-deductible plans, are a tactic by which plan sponsors hope to encourage health care consumers to make smarter purchasing decisions by giving those consumers more "skin in the game." One of the biggest areas in which consumerism affects health care costs is the prescription drug benefit. Brian and Rob discuss the pros and cons of CDHP plans, HSAs, HRAs, consumerism and the drug spend, and more. Brian invites his podcast listeners to submit questions and comments, which he will address directly and in future podcasts.
