Health Plan Provider SeeChange Health Introduces Value-Based Benefit Design to Colorado

DENVER, Aug. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Colorado Department of Insurance has authorized SeeChange Health Insurance (www.SeeChangeHealth.com) to offer medical plans to the state's small businesses. SeeChange Health is already the fastest growing health plan in California.

"Our health insurance is new, different, and we believe, better," said Alan Katz, SeeChange Health's EVP for Sales & Marketing. "Like traditional plans we're there for our members when they're sick or injured. But we go further, offering financial rewards to those taking steps to improve and manage their health."

This approach, referred to as value-based benefit design, has been shown to reduce the rate of growth of health care costs by revealing undiagnosed chronic conditions. "Early detection and intervention of serious health problems means a better quality of life for members, a more productive workforce for employers and lower health care costs for everyone," Katz said. "SeeChange Health's technology platform has long helped larger employer groups enjoy the advantages of value-based benefit plans. We're now bringing this innovation to the small group market."

SeeChange Health Insurance will offer 14 preferred provider (PPO) plans throughout Colorado including three compatible with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). These policies are available only to small businesses of 50 or fewer employees through licensed, independent brokers. SeeChange Health anticipates being able to offer coverage to larger groups in the near future.

"Colorado is a state that appreciates the importance of health and fitness. SeeChange Health's focus on wellness, prevention and early detection is a great fit with the people and culture of the state," noted Katz.
