Fontis Health Launches Practical Discussion of Consumer-Directed Healthcare with “CDH Compass”
Franklin, TN, August 09, 2007 --(PR.com)-- In order to facilitate discussion and help exchange knowledge about the implementation of consumer-directed healthcare (CDH) plans—Franklin, Tennessee’s Fontis Health has launched a new online educatational resource and discussion forum titled CDH Compass (www.cdhcompass.com), available online now.
As the provider of a unique online support platform for consumer-directed health plans (CDH), Fontis Health (www.fontishealth.com) has a particular interest in helping the business world start a practical dialogue about this still-evolving concept in healthcare. CDH Compass is authored and moderated by Fontis’ Director of Legal and Compliance, Roger Abramson, and focuses not on the argument “Does CDH work?” but rather “How do I make CDH work at my business?”
Abramson—a specialist in consumer-directed benefits and an experienced writer who has been published in Health Insurance Underwriter magazine, the Nashville Scene, and The Tennessean—calls the blog “an online support forum” for companies who are either currently sponsoring or considering consumer-directed health plans.
“CDH plans have the unique ability to help employers large and small control healthcare costs and offer competitive benefits to employees. Studies have proven that. But what’s missing from the dialogue about CDH is the practical advice – how to educate employees, how to use this opportunity to encourage a proactive change in their health, and how to integrate incentives into a benefits program in order to engage them.”
Abramson also notes an equal need for health insurance agents to lend their voice at www.cdhcompass.com. “[Insurance] brokers are the front line for implementing CDH plans. Unfortunately, many agents still struggle in the details of implmenting CDH, and this results in a poor experience for them and their clients.” The content available at CDHCompass is designed to help agents develop best practices for educating and explaining HSA-based health plans, and the open forum allows them to share their successes and failures.
Abramson concludes, “At Fontis, our mission is to encourage the adoption of consumer-directed healthcare in order to help fix our healthcare problem. To affect positive change, open discussion and the sharing of experience is required, and we believe that www.cdhcompass.com is the place to share practical knowledge about this new, exciting idea.”
