520 $a This study investigated the relationships between insurance plan profitability, for-profit and non-profit tax status, and product offerings for Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in relationship to their commercial competitors. The study population consisted of 35 Aetna plans in 24 states; 124 Blue Cross Blue Shield plans in 45 states and the District of Columbia; 45 Cigna plans in 28 states; and 23 UnitedHealth plans in 22 states.
520 $a The insurance companies included in the study were assessed on twenty-nine variables that included financial, marketing, and medical management data. A survey collection tool was developed to retrieve the data and input into Excel spreadsheets and then migrated into STATA(TM) for statistical analysis. Individual product trends were analyzed for a five-year period to determine differences by insurance ownership type.
520 $a The findings revealed that premium dollars associated with group products exceed premium dollars associated with Medicare, Medicaid, and Individual non-governmental products across the four national companies. Medicaid and Individual non-governmental products were terminated more often than other products across all ownership types. When Blue Cross Blue Shield plans were analyzed across for-profit, non-profit, and mutual ownership types, the companies had distinct preferences for product offerings. The study provided evidence that health plans will limit their exposure to Medicare, Medicaid, and Individual non-governmental products in preference to Comprehensive/Group products.
