NEW YORK - Big companies are increasing incorporating virtual technology and care options into employee benefit plans to combat the rising healthcare costs that long been corporate America’s bugaboo, according to the annual survey of the National Business Group on Health.
“Virtual solutions are scalable. They improve convenience and access,” said Brian Marcotte, president and chief executive of NBGH. Even as the price of care, especially drugs, has increased, costs have been held in check because usage of healthcare benefits has not gone up - largely achieved by raising policyholders’ deductibles.
A separate survey Willis Towers Watson found that 81 percent of employers currently offer or plan to offer tele-behavioral health services by 2020.Another trend for 2020: Large companies that shifted to only high-deductible offerings are starting to add back choice options.
