The key questions you need to ask yourself

Is your plan designing keeping up with the times?

With specialty drug trend driving prescription drug trend, now is a good time to consider plan design changes to manage the coverage of specialty drugs, such as promotion of lower-cost biosimilars.

Are your health plans placing too heavy a burden on your people?

Although health plan cost trends are relatively level, they continue to outpace both overall inflation and wage growth by a factor of more than two.

What kind of communications strategy will you use?

Greater transparency about health care costs and quality is the top cost-management strategy for plan sponsors.

The data laid out in the Segal Health Plan Cost Trend Survey can help you answer the questions that determine whether you offer financially feasible, comprehensive health benefits or burdensome plans leaving your people sick and broke.
