People-centered disease management. As
healthcare costs continue to rise, employers and plan
sponsors are struggling
to find ways to control costs yet remain competitive in their ability to attract
and retain employees. Today, U.S. companies and other plan sponsors are facing
2006 average benefit plan cost increases of 8%. Cumulatively since 1996, the
healthcare cost burden has risen by a whopping 140%. Today the average cost for
family coverage is $10,880.
Many companies have resorted to cost-shifting through
higher co-pays, co-insurance levels or deductibles, or consumer-directed healthcare
options. But these solutions don’t solve the underlying problem of having
a large percentage of your workforce suffering from unmanaged chronic disease.
