Fierce Healthcare June 5, 2023
Self-insured employers face myriad challenges in trying to manage growing healthcare costs, and one of those results from recent history, according to a survey by the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions (NAHPC).
“Employers are seeing a rise in high-cost claims for younger plan members, with $1 million+ claims disproportionately weighted toward this demographic,” the NAHPC survey said. “The top conditions for these claims include cancer, prenatal/neonatal care, and treatment for COVID-19/long COVID.”
The NAHPC survey is based on input from the Alabama Employer Health Consortium, the Dallas Fort-Worth Business Group on Health, HealthCareTN and the Nevada Business Group on Health. NAHPC and affiliated organizations represent 45 million Americans who spend over $400 billion annually on healthcare.
