title: Designing your health benefit plan.
abstract: A health care benefit plan should meet the needs and expectations of your organization and its insureds. Each organization is unique, so a health care benefit plan shouldn't be "off the shelf" but be uniquely tailored for your organization. Analyze current demographic, utilization and other data to determine which services members and their families are using and what type of services may be needed in the future.
