Heading: Integration of Indemnity and Pre-Paid Insurance

Text: 43 The reorganization discussed above was intended to integrate Connecticut General's indemnity insurance product with prepaid/HMO insurance products into a managed care product. According to Connecticut General, Billet, whose entire career had been spent in the indemnity field, resisted this integration and actually undermined it. Connecticut General regarded Billet as having a low opinion of the prepaid product and of the expertise needed to sell it. Billet often complained about the integration process. Billet admitted that he was aware that the prepaid staff complained about the way it was treated by him and his indemnity staff. James Bell, Billet's supervisor before Botta, testified that he had concerns about Billet's ability to integrate the indemnity and prepaid programs.
