Consumer Driven Health Care

Nearly 75% of workers surveyed do not believe they have enough information to make a confident decision in open enrollment.

The talks come amid ongoing pressure from the federal government to control Medicare costs that have eaten away at Humana's finances and market value.

There's a proposal to cap the tax-free amount available for health care expenditures, including amounts paid by both an employer and an employee, according to the Republican Study Committee's budget proposal.

This shift could result in annual cost savings of as much as $37 billion.

The average American spent only 30-60 minutes making open enrollment decisions last year.

Activity in sectors such as physician medical groups and other services drove much of the volume in the third quarter, with 112 and 140 deals, respectively.

The upcoming election results will have a significant impact on health care and employee benefit policies for at least the next four years.

With this new health plan option, employees would receive one monthly bill that summarizes all of their medical and pharmacy claims for the prior 30 days, and can have the statement auto-paid or financed with a 0% line of credit.
