It may be challenging for business owners or employers to deal with rising health insurance costs, and if you are a business owner, you might be shopping around for better healthcare coverage options.
Modern business owners know that when they are hiring and retaining employees they need to offer competitive compensation which typically includes offering health insurance. But when premium costs are going up, deductibles are rising and access to affordable healthcare is going down.
Despite the fact that traditional health insurance plans offer coverage, many employees cannot afford it, much less enroll their dependents, because it is just too expensive. we’ve noticed that most patients can’t afford the high deductibles and out-of-pocket exposures that come standard with their employer-provided insurance. As a result, most care is deferred, which creates new problems of its own.
So not only are employees unhappy with the insurance that they are provided with, but employers and business owners find themselves paying as much as 67% of the cost.
Higher Quality Care With Alternative Healthcare Coverage
Creating a healthcare coverage plan rather than purchasing employer insurance can be extremely beneficial for the cost of coverage, and for the quality of coverage employees receive.
Businesses look to engage with direct contracting with specific providers, facilities, and direct primary care. They also connect with a fully transparent pharmacy administration that has an acquisition cost pricing formula.
When business owners move away from traditional healthcare options and towards healthcare coverage, they can work with providers who offer transparent, direct relationships and have cash-level pricing.
Creating a medical coverage plan helps business owners purchase and pay for health coverage that will actually support the needs of their employees.
As a result of this fundamental shift, employers are able to reduce employees’ costs for healthcare and coverage. In most cases, everyday care and medicine are at no cost to employees. When more extensive care is needed, the direct arrangements allow for very low or no out-of-pocket costs when directly contracted providers are seen.
