Connecture's Christopher Neuharth To Participate In Panel On Private Health Insurance Exchanges At IHC FORUM West
Industry experts will examine various health insurance exchange models, the concept of defined contribution and relevant employee benefit strategies
BROOKFIELD, Wis., Nov. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Connecture, Inc., a leading provider of web-based information systems used to create health insurance marketplaces, today announced that Christopher Neuharth, the company's vice president of product design and user experience, will participate in a panel discussion at the Institute for HealthCare Consumerism's (IHC) IHC FORUM West conference. The IHC FORUM Conference series provides human resources professionals, brokers, payers and technology providers with an opportunity to share ideas and practices that address the changing role of consumers in the distribution of health benefits.
"Defined Contribution and Private Exchanges: A Panel Discussion with Leading Experts" will explore the emerging practice of employers offering defined contribution plans for health benefits, the increased consumerism that results, various health insurance exchange models and relevant strategies that occur when employees play an integral role in making health benefit decisions. Panelists will also discuss the overall reception to exchanges as the 2014-2015 open enrollment period begins.
"Although employee choice is not new when it comes to health insurance, the journey toward selecting personalized benefits remains incomplete," said Neuharth. "Exchanges, whether public or private, empower participants in benefits programs to make health benefit decisions that in the past were made for them, changing the long-term dynamic for millions of healthcare consumers."
The panel will be moderated by John Young, president of Consumerdriven, LLC and former senior vice president of consumerism at Cigna. Panel participants include Clint Jones, co-founder and CEO of GoHealth; Neuharth; Mike Smith, director of exchange solutions at Lockton Benefit Group; and Nancy Vasta, business lead, proprietary retail exchange at Cigna.
