Abstract

With the Affordable Care Act’s increasing focus on preventative care and many insurance companies seeing losses from the marketplace population, doctors and insurers are turning to address the causes, or social determinants, of health through program and benefit designs. When structuring these insurance plans, it is most effective to start with the population being served and its needs. Three major ways insurers are shifting to be proactive and cover individuals’ full spectrum of needs is through covering preventative services, Value-Based Insurance Reimbursement, and Accountable Care Organizations. Once insurers create plans and programs to address populations needs they then need to focus on gaining and retaining membership. The public health relevance is through exploring how insurance companies have been shifting to become public health organizations, focusing on preventing diseases at the root of the problem, providing individualized care to meet the needs and expectations of members, and promoting general community health.
