Vested Health Among Top Consumer Directed Health Plans Nationally

CHARLESTON, W.Va., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Business Insurance magazine, Vested Health is ranked thirteenth in the nation as a provider of Consumer Directed Health Plans.

“We were in this business before it was called Consumer Directed Health Care,” said Mike Baker, Vested Health’s chief executive officer. “We continue to experience exponential growth because we are intensely focused on providing solutions for our customers that help them take control of their health care costs,” said Baker.

Vested Health is unique among the leading companies. “We utilize technology to its fullest and provide services in a very innovative manner. This enables us to compete with larger companies,” Baker said.

In 2001 Consumer Directed Health Care was in its infancy with less than 0.1% of the nation’s population enrolled in such plans. According to Forrester Research, almost 20% of the country will be enrolled in a Consumer Directed Plan by 2010. Vested Health is positioned to provide health plan solutions throughout the mid-Atlantic region.

“We have proven time and time again we have a solution that works for middle market employers. Our innovations in the area of direct payments for health care providers will be the next step in our growth. We are redefining how the health care system works,” said Baker.

Vested Health has members in 15 states and more than 175 employer groups and 10,000 members signed up today.
