As consumer-driven health has evolved over the years, health insurers have had to react to constant changes in market and consumer-demand, causing the health plan market to make large and recurring investments in their products, consumer brands, and core distribution channels to remain competitive and stave off new market entrants.

Triple Tree believes we are in a third wave of consumer-driven health; a time which will drive health insurers to attempt to shed historic operating models and reinvent themselves as true business-to-consumer/retail-based enterprises.

Upcoming Events for 2010

Investor’s Meeting – May 11, 2010; La Jolla, CA
