BOSTON, May 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NFP Health &
hCentive, Inc. announced today that Jeff
Rich, CEO of NFP Health and Sanjay
Singh, CEO of hCentive, will co-present a session titled
'How the Supreme Court Decision Will Impact Private Exchanges' at
the AHIP Institute 2012 Exchange Conference in Salt Lake City, UT on June 20, 2012. NFP Health, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of National Financial Partners Corp. (NYSE: NFP), a
leading provider of benefits, insurance and wealth management
services, is a pioneer in the design, implementation and delivery
of Health Benefits Exchanges. hCentive is in the business of
simplifying the complex world of health insurance.
The session will discuss the challenges and opportunities
arising out of health care reform and the potential impact the U.S.
Supreme Court decision will have on "private" health insurance
exchanges ("Private Exchanges"). It will also address questions
regarding investment and capabilities required by health plans to
create and run successful Private Exchanges.
Commenting on today's announcement, Mr. Rich said, "Now is a
very interesting time for health plans, looking to evaluate the
marketplace for better business opportunities. While the
impending reforms promise some significant business opportunities
for insurers, it is important to consider how the Supreme Court
judgment will impact these Exchanges."
Mr. Singh added, "Insurers are keen to understand the potential
impact that the Supreme Court decision will have on the emergence
of Private Exchanges. Having interacted with a wide variety
of insurers and policymakers, hCentive brings critical insight into
the situation and how insurers can make the most of the
ever-changing landscape."
Chris Condeluci, an expert on the
legal aspects of PPACA, ERISA, and State insurance law and how
these laws may impact Private Exchanges, will also participate in
the panel discussion. Mr. Condeluci said, "Private Exchanges are
the future. I believe that regardless of whether PPACA is
upheld, modified, or halted by a Supreme Court decision, Private
Exchanges will play a critical role in any new health care
marketplace. With NFP Health's long-standing experience with
Private Exchanges and hCentive's deep expertise, Jeff and Sanjay
are uniquely positioned to shed some light on the direction that
Private Exchanges will take moving forward."
