Beyond the Limitations
Why employers are rethinking primary plan gaps.
Rising employee cost sharing
As deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance rise, employees can feel the strain of healthcare costs more often and more quickly. Even routine care can start to feel like a financial burden.
Limited flexibility from primary plans
One-size-fits-all primary plans can make it difficult to tailor benefits for different employee groups. Employers need more flexibility to stay competitive while balancing plan costs.
Traditional gap fillers fall short
Traditional gap solutions, like consumer health accounts and voluntary plans, often fall short of addressing routine healthcare expenses due to funding or event requirements.​
