The premise of consumer-directed healthcare (CDH) is that consumers who are made more accountable for the cost of their healthcare will become more responsible healthcare consumers, resulting in an overall decrease in healthcare costs.
These CDH accounts are gaining popularity. They are expected to increase from 28.7 million in 2010 to 61.6 million in 2015, according to a new infographic from Alegeus Technologies. The infographic also addresses rising healthcare costs, the emergence of high-deductible plan designs, the effects of CDH adoption and more.
