MFA Launches Healthcare Business Strategy

MFA Launches Healthcare Business Strategy

MFA, a highly respected consulting firm specializing in healthcare business analysis, recently launched Healthcare Business Strategy. The free briefs, published at least monthly, analyze important issues and developments affecting healthcare business today.

Kennebunk, ME (PRWEB) November 22, 2004

“UnitedHealth Group's (UNH) Health Care Services division provides insurance coverage for approximately 16 million Americans. Their market position may be number two from a health membership perspective, in light of the Anthem — WellPoint merger approved last week (and the combined company with approximately 28 million members). However, considering the total organization’s offerings, adaptability and flexibility, some could argue that UNH continues be the industry leader.”

As industry leaders grapple with the changing landscape, MFA recognizes the growing need for healthcare business analysis. “Strategy involves more than simply reviewing your companyÂ’s business plan once a year. These days, healthcare executives must size up developments and craft competitive responses, else, their company may be left behind. Our goal is to make this task easier,” says LuAnne Farrah, President of MFA. 

“Many consultants track and post top news stories, including MFA. We saw the need for analysis and interpretation of the latest developments,” says Julianne Mark, Vice President of MFA. The Healthcare Business Strategy lineup to date includes:

· UnitedHealth Group and UnitedHealthcare: Attributes That Spell S-U-C-C-E-S-S

· New York Health Insurance Market

· Private Health Insurance Coverage

· Consumer-Driven Healthcare: The Jury’s Still Out

· HIP/ConnectiCare Merger: By the Numbers
