Health Insurance Exchange News and Information Focus of New Health2 Resources News Portal, Newsbrief

Creator of H2RMinutes announces new resource for HIX regulatory, provider news and innovator content         

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Health2 Resources announced today free access to its newsbrief and web portal, H2RMinutes: HIX, a one-stop source for news about the emerging health insurance exchange marketplace. H2RMinutes: HIX is the latest addition to the suite of newsbriefs offered by Health2 Resources, beginning with its popular H2RMinutes: Patient-Centered Care and the 2011 launch of H2RMinutes: Accountable Care.

The Affordable Care Act requires each state to have a health insurance exchange (HIX) plan in place by Jan. 1, 2013, and a functioning HIX in place by Jan. 1, 2014, that enables individuals and small businesses to buy health coverage. With deadlines looming and the fate of the ACA in the hands of the Supreme Court, it's essential for professionals in the health care marketplace to stay current. With summaries of--and links to–full-length articles, readers can quickly review the headlines and keep up with the industry news, regulatory matters, innovators and news about consumers and providers through H2RMinutes: HIX.

H2RMinutes: HIX , a bi-weekly newsbrief, will deliver the latest news about HIX to health care policymakers, insurers, providers, employers and thought leaders. Produced by Health2 Resources, H2RMinutes: HIX brings targeted, timely information about HIX developments that will impact how purchasers buy care and how insurers can position their products in an evolving landscape, delivered to email boxes Thursday mornings. Readers can sign up for a free subscription here.

In 2009 Health2 Resources launched its successful newsbrief and portal, H2RMinutes, which provides weekly news and information about the patient-centered medical home to more than 20,000 readers. The bi-weekly H2RMinutes: HIX vehicle will enable readers to quickly scan summaries and link to articles and resources.

H2RMinutes: Accountable Care (http://h2rminutesaccountablecare.com) keeps thousands of readers informed about legal, regulatory and marketplace changes that will have an impact on new models of care delivery (such as accountable care organizations) that are scheduled to launch this year under the Affordable Care Act.

"Health care reform is rapidly changing how employers buy health care, how providers deliver care, and the role insurers play in the market," said Katherine H. Capps, president of Health2 Resources. "We follow the trends and track the opportunities and obstacles; we then share that intelligence with health care decision makers. Readers of H2R Minutes tell us it's an invaluable time-saver to be able to scan the headlines or delve more deeply into the articles linked to the portal, so they can stay informed."
