  • Title: Practical steps to controlling medical costs.
    Author: Marlowe J.
    Journal: Empl Benefits J; 2003 Dec; 28(4):71-7. PubMed ID: 14712739.
    Abstract:
    There are no silver bullets to control medical costs. And some costs are beyond plan sponsors' control. But plan sponsors can reduce the annual medical trend by taking control of the high-cost drivers of medical expenses while, at the same time, improving employees' perception of the medical plan. Patient care management, disease management and health status improvement support (with member involvement) are key.
