HDM, a Press Resource

As one of the leaders in employee health benefit plan audits and analytics for self-insured employers, Healthcare Data Management, Inc. has often been a resource for reporters researching stories on cost containment, risk management and accountability issues related to employee health plans. Company experts are always available to provide insight on these and other issues:

• Why many self-insured employers are paying too much for healthcare.
• Why savings from self-insuring employee health plans often are not as great as expected.
• The need to strive for zero defects when analyzing health plan claims.
• Where major errors can occur in employee healthcare claims.
• Why self-insured employers are responsible for minimizing health costs and how they can do it.
• How administrators are different from insurers, even when they are the same people.
• Why the convenience of getting health plan administration and stop-loss insurance from the same company can cost a self-insured corporation, Taft-Hartley plan or government entity a lot of money.
• What's wrong with a lot of contracts written by employee health plan administrators and PBMs.
• How a health care bill may get bigger or smaller as it travels from point-of-care to point-of-payment.
• How health plan auditing differs from corporate financial auditing.
• Why self-insured health plans should be included in goals for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
• How new technology, properly applied, can provide self-insured employers with a new level of analytics.
• How to contain dependent eligibility and prescription drug plan abuses during tough economic times.
• The real cost of a typical self-insured employee health plan, and how today’s technology can be used to capture savings that cannot be found with retrospective audits.
