The Health plan Users Group brings together Leapfrog employers who have significant business relationships with major national health plan carriers and representatives from those plans to collaborate and develop strategies to provide employers with products that will address Leapfrog’s purchasing principles.

 

Our members work with these health plans to develop goals and evaluation criteria, scorecards, that aim to assess each health plan’s progress toward implementation of the purchasing principles. Representatives from each plan meet privately with a group of Leapfrog employers several times throughout the year.

 

These goals and criteria, as well as the Scorecard results, form the basis of ongoing Leapfrog Health Plan Users Group discussions with national plans.  Leapfrog members are able to access the Scorecard materials submitted by the plans and may consider this information when making their healthcare purchasing decisions.
