Study: Consumer-Driven Health Plans on the Horizon
Overview
As health care costs continue to soar, politicians, business owners, and employees are all seeking effective ways to reduce expenses.
Key Findings
According to the recent Buying Trends Study by the National Association of Health Underwriters and ChapterHouse LLC, nearly 90% of insurance agents and brokers anticipate significant changes in the health insurance market over the next five to ten years. A major shift is expected from traditional plans to consumer-driven health plans.
With the open enrollment season approaching, consumers have an opportunity to explore these consumer-driven options and assess whether they suit their needs. Previous editions of this study have accurately predicted other health care trends, lending credibility to these new insights.
Consumer-Driven Health Plans
Consumer-driven health plans (CDHPs), such as Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), pair high-deductible health plans with savings accounts. These allow employees to pay health care costs directly.
Offering lower premiums than traditional insurance, CDHPs empower consumers to make more informed decisions about their health care by choosing the services they prefer.
Adoption and Expectations
Around 30% of employers are planning to offer these consumer-driven plans. Employees will need to consider whether they're prepared to transition to this innovative approach to managing health care.
The study also highlights the challenges facing those hoping for nationalized health care, with only 3% of respondents believing in the adoption of a single-payer system, and just 7% expecting U.S. government mandates in the future.
Conclusion
While the future of health care remains uncertain, the study foresees a trend towards private market initiatives as a potential solution to the ongoing health care crisis.
