Consumer-Directed Health Plans

Previously, you were introduced to consumer-directed health plans. This topic has resurfaced this week with our discussion of disease management. Consumer-directed health plans were developed to help manage rising health care spending by giving the patient more control of their health care decisions and costs.

How do you feel about consumer-directed health plans? Have you ever been enrolled in one yourself? Conduct some additional research on consumer-directed health plans. What are the pros and cons of such programs? Share your thoughts and solutions!

Please make your initial post by midweek, and respond to at least one other student's post by the end of the week. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.
