Fantastic! No question benefit managers and employees need direction in reducing costs and accessing care. I originally logged in to briefly skim the material but wound up reading all! Definitely a must read. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Don,
Thanks for forwarding your book draft to me. Up till now, health care has really been in a “Managed cost mode”. The contents of this draft will bring health care into the true “Managed care mode” whereby health plan members are asked to become a stake holder in the cost of their care. Prevention of certain medical costs are attainable, and a more healthy membership can be achieved if members follow the steps in this guide.
As far as selection of health care providers, brokers, and TPAs, everyone needs to do their homework before selecting such.
Thanks,
Tom Baker
