    Case Study | October 2015

    Multiyear Trend Management Case Study

    Pipe Industry Health and Welfare Fund of Colorado.

    To reduce health care costs and improve the long-term stability of the Health and Welfare Fund, Cigna HealthcareSM and the Pipe Industry Health and Welfare Fund of Colorado have worked together to develop and execute a multiyear trend management plan.

    We trained plan participants on how to become better health care consumers—providing them with multiple clinical advocacy programs and health improvement tools. Learn how we helped engage plan participants and reduce health care costs to improve long-term stability of the Health and Welfare Fund over five years.
