Another survey finds that – in the face of rising health care costs – people are making tough choices and skipping care. For employers, this isn’t just a budget issue—it’s a matter of access. Health care that is unaffordable is inaccessible, and when employees can’t afford to use their benefits, everyone loses. http://spr.ly/60497999S
As renewal season brings another year of double-digit healthcare cost increases, many employers are rethinking how to manage expenses without shifting more burden to employees. In the latest episode of Centivo's Real Talk, our Chief Strategy and Growth Officer Peter Bridges joins Ashok Subramanian, and Rivka Friedman of Morgan Health to share practical ways employers can bend the cost curve and improve care. In this conversation, you'll hear how to: ● Rethink renewal season as a strategic opportunity, not just a spreadsheet exercise. ● Use plan design to influence both costs and outcomes. ● Integrate high-value programs instead of layering on new vendors. ● Support employees facing complex conditions like cancer, one of the biggest cost drivers, with seamless access to evidence-based expertise. ● Empower brokers and advisors to lead with data, conviction and value-based solutions that challenge the status quo. Budgets are tight and renewal fatigue is real but every renewal is a chance to design something better. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/eH4Axzhq #BenefitsStrategy #CancerCare #ValueBasedCare

Doulas aren’t just a trend – they’re a proven way to enhance the quality and equity of maternal care. This new report shows that most employees are interested in doula support throughout their pregnancy journey, from prenatal to postnatal care. By partnering with health plans and doula organizations, employers can help employees find the support they seek, when they need it. http://spr.ly/60497nWCS
Our portfolio company Merative recently worked with a large employer who wanted to understand why their specialty drug costs were so high. By identifying supplementary treatments like physical therapy and exploring alternatives to the highest-cost drugs for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, they uncovered a big savings opportunity. In this particular case, the organization achieved $50 million in annual savings by looking at alternative ways to couple treatment plans. "That’s meaningful dollars for an organization to take back and then use for other benefits," Truven by Merative's Marcy Tatsch told Becker's Healthcare.

Health care costs are rising at a time of general inflation and market uncertainty. This issue is becoming increasingly severe for business owners, particularly in geographies with an already high cost of living, like San Francisco. This week, Morgan Health hosted “Affordable Healthcare for San Francisco’s Businesses” – bringing together local business groups and Bay Area health care innovators to uncover opportunities to help businesses offer lower cost, high-quality health benefits to their employees. The event, cohosted by HLTH Inc. and Second Opinion Media, featured a panel with Stacy Edgar, Rodney Fong and Nick Harrison, highlighting the crucial role healthy people play in the city’s growth and prosperity. Some key themes included: • Businesses are searching for more efficiency and innovation – especially in health care. They simply don’t have the bandwidth or capacity to navigate a complex landscape. • Quality, affordable health care is directly linked to employee wellness and satisfaction – and often makes up a core part of a company’s strategy. • Double-digit premium increases are not sustainable for small businesses, particularly against the backdrop of broader economic pressures. • Solutions like Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (or ICHRA) have the potential to transform health care for business owners. This was core to the partnership between our portfolio company (Venteur) and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.

The data is clear: Doula care is in demand, but access and education are lagging. Here’s what employers should know – based on a new report from Morgan Health: 📋 1 in 5 employees with employer-sponsored insurance used a doula during their most recent birth. 📊 78% of those interested want support at all stages: prenatal, delivery and postnatal. The average amount employees are willing to pay for doula support is $1,925, but coverage makes a big difference. Read more: http://spr.ly/60427Tkd0
