5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, but detailed. Good ideas for our health plan., November 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Managing Health Benefits in Small & Mid-Sized Organizations (Hardcover)
As a small employer of only 35 employees, I wasn't sure how to proceed with changes in our health plan that are under consideration. This book has helped us resolve some of the different approaches suggested by our broker. I expect we'll use it again, as we grow over the next few years.

3.0 out of 5 stars Title is deceptive. Small employers beware., June 4, 2002
By 
This review is from: Managing Health Benefits in Small & Mid-Sized Organizations (Hardcover)
The book title suggests help for small organizations, but the blurb inside the front cover says that the book "provides targeted strategies for companies with as few as 50 employees or as many as 5,000."

If you have fewer than 100 employees you may be disappointed with this book. The biggest focus is on self-funded plans, which the author says are most feasible for organizations with more than 100 employees.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, How-To Guide to Buying Health Benefits, February 4, 2001
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Managing Health Benefits in Small & Mid-Sized Organizations (Hardcover)
Highly recommended for all smaller employers struggling with the process of buying health benefits for employees. Carefully crafted, well structured, and quite comprehensive, the book details everything a small or medium sized firm needs to know to begin to leverage their buying power in the marketplace. Certainly not for large employers with market power (because large purchasers will want to use more sophisticated tools to buy quality and incentivize plans and providers for greater performance), but a good primer for anyone just starting out.
