6th Annual Private and Public Exchange Summit

6th Annual Private and Public Exchange Summit

Exchange marketplaces – private and public – are revolutionizing the health insurance industry. With goals of creating more consumer choice and competitive pricing, exchanges have been forecasted as a game-changing entity for consumer empowerment.

Two years after the inaugural launch of the federal exchanges, we have seen some interesting results:

• Exchange technology and capacity was initially limited, and are constantly evolving
• Consumers are lacking much of the knowledge and resources to make proper choices and stay engaged
• Employers are not jumping on board the private and public exchange route as quickly as predicted
• Federal and state policy still leaves future exchange direction and sustainability uncertain

However, many industry experts agree that exchanges are not going away – and are a key strategy for the future of market distribution and planning. Carriers nationwide are looking more closely into exchange strategy, the future of the private exchange, employer benefit trends, defined contribution, and consumerism.

Join us this July in Washington, DC as health plans, exchange executives, employer perspectives, and industry experts from across the nation convene to discuss the future of exchange strategy.
