Posted by Madeline Lippe on September 15, 2020

With the persistent rise in health care costs, U.S. employers of all sizes are focused on controlling costs while also making health care more affordable for employees.

Respondents to the 24th Annual Towers Watson Survey expect total health care costs (employer and employee) to rise 4.9% in 2020 after plan design changes, up nearly a full point from 4.0% in 2019. According to findings from the Towers Watson Financial Benchmarks Survey, the average cost of health care is $13,087 per employee per year (PEPY) in 2019 and is expected to rise to $13,728 in 2020. By point of comparison, the U.S. inflation rate is expected to average 1.8% in 2019 and to increase to 2.0% in 2020. Without plan changes, cost trend would be 5.0% in both 2019 and 2020.

5 Signs You Should Consider Self-Funding

Posted by Tatiana Spears on May 5, 2020

Do you wish you could design your own health plan? Do you want to improve employee health while reducing the cost of care? Then self-funding may be for you.

You might be thinking, “How on earth is this a good idea?!” Don’t press the panic button just yet.

Self-funded plans are actually more cost-effective in the long run because expenses associated with a fully insured plan are eliminated and yes, there are smart ways to mitigate risk. In this setup, employers have more control over their health benefit program and have a direct impact in reducing the cost of care by improving employee health. Here are five signs that self-funded health plan might be right for you.
