Projected health care cost trend jumped to almost 8% for next year, the highest amount in more than a decade, according to Business Group on Health’s 2025 Employer Health Care Strategy Survey. The predicted surge in employer health care spending – actual health care costs have grown a cumulative 50% since 2017 – is influenced by inflation, heightened demand for expensive drugs such as GLP-1s, and the ongoing burden of treating cancer and other chronic conditions, among other factors. Employers also revealed in the annual survey their concerns about vendor partnerships, health equity, mental health and the need for ERISA pre-emption. #employer #healthcare https://okt.to/k7xABI

Sobering research from Business Group on Health on the health care landscape ahead. This reinforces that today's benefits professional has a challenging job! It will be easy to boil this down to "GLP-1s are driving up costs" but that is an over-simplification. Employers are working to address several pharmacy concerns, while dealing with challenging cancer and chronic condition exposure. Employers are seeking partners who want to work to transform the landscape.

This is a super insightful article. With a flat out 8% healthcare cost trend, every employer should examine their healthcare plan spend and seek for operational efficiency. I wish every employer has MultiPlan’s BenInsights tool or something similar that can not only track trend, but can evaluate new or existing programs and make plan design changes recommendations accordingly. You can find actionable insights on all these pressing topics mentioned in this article, such as GLP-1s, MSK, cancer prevalence and screenings, mental health prevalence and access via telehealth, etc. If you are one of the employers facing that high increase in healthcare cost, I would love to hear your stories and help brainstorm ways to reduce that trend increase with data and technologies. #BenInsights #dataanddecisionsciences #healthcaretrend #employersponsorplans

The projected 8% jump in healthcare costs according to Business Group on Health 2025 Employer Survey is daunting but not surprising. Costs are going up year after year, and the complexity around GLP-1s, Cancer, MSK, and other chronic conditions continues to exacerbate the issue. We know that employers want to do right by their people and have been absorbing much of the cost increases while they search for higher-quality and lower cost options. Unfortunately, this is unsustainable. Solving these monumental challenges around cancer and weight health requires comprehensive, longitudinal solutions and partners that can make it happen. We agree that employers should reevaluate their vendor partnerships because there ARE sustainable opportunities to cut costs, increase engagement, and improve quality care with comprehensive, personalized health benefits. Easy access to high-quality, affordable health and care is possible and it’s happening at Transcarent.
