October Plan Management Navigator
By Douglas B. Sherlock; MBA, CFA
Please find attached the October 2009 edition of our Plan Management Navigator.
Medicare-Orientated Universe
In this month’s edition, we update ME-P and all readers on the results for the Medicare-Oriented universe, and provide summary functional area breakouts as well as expense trends. Holding constant the universe, and the product mix offered, administrative expense growth was higher than last year.
For example, eleven Medicare-Oriented plans serving 1.1 million beneficiaries participated in this year’s benchmarking study. In addition, the results from Blue Cross Blue Shield Plans and Independent / Provider-Sponsored Plans are also summarized. With these additional plans, we provide selected information on health plans serving 2.1 million Medicare beneficiaries, comprising approximately 22% of Medicare Advantage members during 2008.
Assessment
The analysis is based on materials from our Sherlock Expense Evaluation Report (SEER) for the Medicare-Oriented Plans. Additional information about SEER is available at www.sherlockco.com/seer.shtml or by contacting me.
