As the year 2000 approaches, it is apparent that employer-sponsored health plans will again begin to experience high rate increases. Employers will need to utilize an up-to-date benefits philosophy and health plan purchasing strategy coupled with monitoring tools and vendor performance guarantees to deal with the situation. While many of the cost drivers are beyond an employer's control, taking a preemptive strike at health care inflation through design, cost sharing and other focused initiatives will minimize its impact.
随着2000年的临近,雇主资助的健康计划显然将再次开始经历高费率增长。雇主将需要运用最新的福利理念和健康计划购买策略,再加上监测工具和供应商绩效保证来应对这种情况。虽然许多成本驱动因素超出了雇主的控制范围,但通过设计、成本分摊和其他有针对性的举措对医疗保健通胀进行先发制人打击,将使其影响最小化。
