Wellpoint consumer driven health plans

WellPoint Inc. wants to make consumer-driven plans the next big thing in health insurance.

The Indianapolis based health insurance company on Tuesday announced plans to offer the plans to individuals and businesses of all sizes nationwide.

Consumer-driven health plans are high-deductible plans, with lower monthly premiums than traditional health plans, such as a PPO or an HMO. They are designed to put consumers in charge of more of their own health-care spending, encouraging them to shop around for the best health care based on price and quality. Currently, WellPoint offers the plans only to employees of large national companies.
