PREPAID MEDIA ANNOUNCES THE INAUGUAL CDHC EXPO TO BE HELD IN LAS VEGAS, FEBRUARY 26-28, 2007
Expo Focuses On Convergence Of Health Care And Financial Services, Providing Solutions for Employers, And Examining In Depth The Latest Opportunities, Trends, And Potential Pitfalls In Consumer Driven Health Care (CDHC)
Introducing Inaugural CDHC Awards
Nashua, NH, June 5, 2006 – Prepaid Media, a leading provider of business-to-business, integrated media and information services to the emerging consumer-driven health care (CDHC) industry, today announced the inaugural CDHC Expo to be held February 26-28, 2007 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 2007 CDHC Expo will focus on the unprecedented convergence of health care and financial services, via the rapid growth of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs), and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). The conference will provide a forum for employers and the organizations making CDHC possible, including health plans, card networks, regulatory firms, consulting firms, issuing banks, healthcare technology solution companies, and payments processors, to discuss the latest trends, opportunities and potential pitfalls of the rapidly changing and expanding CDHC market.
“
Last year, Prepaid Media launched the Prepaid Card Expo, which included a highly
successful track focused exclusively on CDHC,” said Jonathan A. Weiner,
president of Prepaid Media. “With over 1,000 attendees at the 2006 Prepaid
Card Expo and the overwhelming response to the health care track, we are launching
the CDHC Expo as a stand alone co-located show to provide more content, deeper
insight, and better networking opportunities for CDHC industry insiders and
the employers making key decisions on the future of their corporate benefits
programs.”
Prepaid Media will also be hosting the inaugural CDHC Awards in conjunction
with the Expo to recognize noteworthy professionals, organizations,
and programs throughout the CDHC industry.
2007 CDHC Expo Conference Details
The 2007 CDHC Expo will be held February 26-28, 2007 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. The health care system is undergoing a fundamental shift towards CDHC that in many ways resembles the late 1980s’ migration from indemnity insurance to managed care, in which rising costs led to the need for alternative, new solutions. The 2007 CDHC Expo is the premiere venue bringing together health care professionals, card networks, regulatory firms, consulting firms, issuing banks, health care technology solution companies, insurance providers, payments processors, and employers to discuss the latest trends, issues, and opportunities in the CDHC market. The expo will feature two core tracks, including:
• Convergence: Health Care and Financial Services Track – this track will focus on the next generation of CDHC solutions, partly in development and partly available today, which offer enhanced and integrated products and services in a seamless environment. These second generation solutions provide significant benefits to employers, health plans, members, and providers through ease of use, cost reduction, and an enhanced end-user experience.
• Employer Solutions Track – this track is designed specifically for employers, who will benefit from practical information by learning about the latest opportunities, trends, solutions, practices, and potential pitfalls in CDHC. Sessions are targeted to ensure that human resource directors, risk management professionals, benefits and compensation executives, and others will learn about the latest in matters such as: CDHC plan design; CDHC program selection and implementation options; wellness and disease management program integration within CDHC; and actuarial analysis tools for CDHC programs. In addition, case studies will highlight immediately executable solutions.
