How much do you pay for Health Care? There are better ways with savings for employees and employers! By exploring these options, employees and employers can significantly reduce health care expenses while maintaining or even enhancing the quality of care.

We've polled CEOs nationwide and the three largest positive impacts to employee healthcare are: Effectively utilizing artificial intelligence to customize employee health plans and decrease overall cost. Supporting preventive care initiatives to lower long-term cost by preventing critical care events. Utilizing high level telemedicine to increase access to healthcare and prevent expensive critical care misuse. The most effective employer health strategies use all of the above to create an employee health plan that improves human health and lowers employer cost by about 35%.

Surging healthcare costs aren’t just impacting your bottom line—they’re affecting employee trust. Today, only 56% of employees trust that their employer is trying to get the best quality healthcare. How are leading companies containing costs while also providing the level of support employees expect?

When done correctly, employers get to help employees and their families save money. And, the employer is reducing cost. Employers are becoming more selective about the healthcare providers their employees can access. Rising healthcare costs and a push for better quality of care drive this shift. Employers increasingly use tools like narrow networks, telehealth options, and cost transparency to guide employees toward preferred providers. As a result, employees may face restrictions on their choice of doctors and facilities, encouraging them to choose high-value, cost-effective options. The approach aims to improve health outcomes while managing expenses. Oh, by the way… employers must commit to Hospital Payor Transparency (HPT), or they face a substantial daily fine.

What happens when companies take care of their employees' health? They’re less likely to need medical leave – and are more productive to boot. 🙌 You’ll also find that your employee healthcare costs decrease. That’s how your health plan becomes your growth plan. https://lnkd.in/eZHzHFg5 #CignaHealthcare #CompanyGrowth #YourGrowthPlan #HR [Source] Cigna Healthcare Vitality Study, 2023

As I read this insightful article highlighting the Health Care system, I thought of supporting individual employees—the premium paying customers in any organization. The market may be losing focus on aiding these crucial individuals within the confusing health plan system. By prioritizing employee well-being, we not only support HR teams and companies but also positively impact group health plan costs. Let's work together to make a difference.
