Private Health Insurance Exchanges: Consumerization via Defined Contributions

Health insurance in the U.S. is at the cusp of a major transition from an employer-driven payor model to a model directly involving many more employees and consumers. Private health insurance exchanges with a defined contribution approach represent a significant step toward catalyzing this change.

While public health insurance exchanges can ultimately serve markets beyond individual and small group, proactive stakeholders involved in the midsized and large employer marketplace have emerged with demand for private health insurance exchange solutions on a defined contribution basis.

Private exchanges may not be a panacea for rocketing healthcare costs. But the healthcare landscape is changing, and employers will seek approaches such as private exchanges to transition health benefits from an employer driven
model to a more consumer driven one. Payors require a robust competitive response. If executed thoughtfully and deliberately, launching or joining a private exchange could be a critical strategy for payors to adapt and thrive.
