Private Exchanges:



The New Business Model for Insurers and Employers


Private Exchanges: The New Business Model for Insurers and Employers examines the details of how private exchanges work, which models are most successful at gaining members, and the pros and cons for insurers of taking part in nonproprietary exchanges versus building their own. This report is filled with valuable, practical intelligence from several national private exchange experts, on topics such as:

  • The business model for private exchanges and how insurers expect to prosper by operating their own proprietary exchanges or selling coverage on other marketplaces.
  • How defined contribution is playing into employer decision making and the ramifications of shifting health benefits to private exchanges.
  • The differences between private exchanges and traditional "slice" business.
  • The opportunities and threats that private exchanges present for insurers.
  • The membership tradeoff for insurers — membership gain from previously closed relationships (such as an employer with another carrier) vs. potential loss of membership in exclusive employer relationships.
  • How much revenue insurers can generate with the potential move of employers from self-insured to fully insured benefit plans.
