AS CONSUMER-DRIVEN HEALTH CARE expands, companies will be looking for success stories to emulate as they implement CDHPs. At the 2007 CDHC Expo in Las Vegas, one company was honored as one such success story. Worthington Industries won the award for the "Most Successful CDHC Program Implementation" in the mid-sized employer category, which covers companies with 500 to 5,000 employees.
SHPS, a provider of health benefit solutions that supports Worthington's CDHC program, accepted the award on behalf of Worthington. In three years, Worthington has managed to enroll more than 20 percent of its eligible employees in a CDHC plan.
