The Business Health Care Group is pleased to announced the launch of the next three more modules in our online education series, "A Buyer's Guide to Health Care," available exclusively to member organizations on our website. These interactive modules lay out the issues in a memorable, easy-to-understand format.

Four of the eight planned modules—video vignettes featuring “Joe,” an average health care consumer, interspersed with short activities—are accessible today via password at our web site. Modules 2 through 4 include:

• In Module 2, “How Insurance Works,” Joe’s friend John shows him how to decipher the Explanation of Benefits he gets from his insurer. The video links to detailed information about the claims process and other aspects of health care plans.
• In Module 3, “Right Plan, Right Doctor,” Joe learns how to choose a health care plan and a high-quality doctor that’s right for his situation.
• In Module 4, “Getting the Most from Your Health Care Visit,” Joe recalls how asking detailed questions and sharing specific information with his doctor helps him maximize the value of his trips to the doctor.

“A Buyer’s Guide to Health Care” also includes a downloadable list of health care tips, links to other key resources for consumers and a glossary of terminology. Modules 5 through 7 are nearing completion and will be released soon. We’ve also decided to move forward with an eighth module, which will explain the mission of the BHCG and how that’s relevant to Joe’s experience. Module 8 is currently in production.

Please contact Jennifer LaMere for pass code to access the modules or to download the modules to your intranet for faster download times and easier access for employees. The direct link to access the modules is http://www.bhcgsw.org/admin/login/. You can also get there from the BHCG homepage.
