Interesting post on Yahoo OXHP thread- skip the garbage by going to post 2699 and post 2702. Posts by ACTRI- reporting on changes in OXHP processes and procedures he has observed as a benefit consultant. Sounds very positive. As I have felt in the past, the full effects of these changes should be seen in 1999 as revised business practices impact the writing of nrew business and renewals. Remeber, a very significant block should have a 1/1 renewal date. In the meantime, improvement in operations (billing, enrollment, and claim adjudication) will move us in the right direction.

Mang, can one directly compare HUM with OXHP? I don't know, but the last time I looked at HUM (about 2 years, maybe longer ago) they were more in actually operating hospitals, not so much in insuring the potential occupants of them. Correct me anyone if I'm wrong. So while there may well be overlaps in businesses of HUM and OXHP, the full story probably is quite different. Also, HUM is profitable whereas OXHP is not, at least for now. My best, Thomas
