Overview

Medicare Advantage is the strongest driver of growth in the managed care industry’s gross profit and will generate about $120 billion in revenue by 2010.

As commercial health insurance profitability and enrollment continue to shrink, Medicare Advantage increasingly represents the greatest available growth opportunity for health plans. While this is a great opportunity for plans, impending changes in the political landscape as well as challenges to the traditional business model for Medicare Advantage plans have created the need for plans to be dynamic, savvy, and efficient.
