While always considered a bit of a prophet, even singer Bob Dylan would never have predicted that healthcare spending in the U.S. would hit an astounding $1.4 trillion. On a more personal level, even more shocking news is that the per person cost last year was a whopping $8,160, which includes plan costs being passed on to employees, as noted in the Washington Post.
But,there is a better way to reverse this trend–it’s called healthcare performance management (HPM). If health plans were managed better, the constantly rising employee tab - now 19% of the premium–could be stopped in its tracks. Tools are available to reverse employee cost sharing by holding health plan costs in check. Companies around the country are using proven performance management technology to save millions.
