Greetings:

Please find attached the April 2013 edition of Plan Management Navigator. This month’s Navigator features three estimates of employment by U.S. private health plans:

***

1. The first estimate is of staffing as it exists at present, based on Sherlock Benchmarks.

2. The second estimate calculates the effect of the new private insurance enrollment through Medicaid and through the exchanges, as estimated by the Congressional Budget Office, on health plan employment. This second estimate employs the existing Sherlock Company staffing ratio benchmarks.
3. The third estimate applies the staffing ratios of low cost health plans participating in the Sherlock Benchmarking studies to all insurers.

Estimates

We estate that the combined effect of increased health plan enrollment and heightened efficiency to be a decline of 72,000 FTEs.

About

Sherlock Benchmarks help to identify whether your plan has high staffing ratios and which functional area’s staffing should be targeted for a closer look. We invite you to consider participation in the 2013 survey with the nearly 50 organizations that have already committed to this valuable analysis.
