Abstract:
Extend disease management services to 'healthy' members. Why? Because with all the emphasis on high-cost, chronically ill patients, a health plan's most valuable asset is being ignored.

Through the use of predictive modeling, the program is designed to target higher risk members so preventive strategies can be employed.
