Roger Feldman is the Blue Cross Professor
of Health Insurance and Professor of
Economics. Dr. Feldman was a Marshall
Scholar at the London School of Economics
and holds a PhD in economics from the
University of Rochester. His research covers
the organization, financing, and delivery of
health care with a focus on health
insurance. He also studies competition among
health care providers and insurers.
Currently, he is evaluating the effect of
consumer-directed health plans on medical
care costs and the use of preventive
services. Dr. Feldman’s experience in health
care policy includes serving on the Senior
Staff of the President’s Council of Economic
Advisers, where he was the lead author of a
chapter in the 1985 Economic Report of the
President. From 1988 to 1992, he directed
one of the four national research centers
sponsored by the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS). In the 1990s he
advised CMS on a demonstration of
competitive pricing for Medicare M+C plans
and is currently evaluating a demonstration
of competitive pricing for durable medical
equipment. Dr. Feldman is a regular
contributor to journals in economics and
health services research. His research has
received four “best paper” awards from the
Association for Health Services Research and
the National Institute of Health Care
Management. He has been a consultant to the
U.S. Department of Justice and several state
agencies regarding health plan mergers and
ownership changes.
