New survey shows HR departments’ strategies around benefits.
Employers Resource Association (ERA) annual Health & Welfare Benefits survey reveals that more employers are opting to offer high deductible health plans to their employees as a primary strategy to rein in healthcare costs. Employers offering high deductible health plans increased by 43 percent over last year, and the employers offering a traditional PPO option is at the lowest percent in the market in the history of this study.
Increasing employees’ contribution to the healthcare premium and implementing a wellness program were the two top cost containment strategies employers utilized in the past 12 months and the same cost containment methods are planned to be implemented in the future.
