We can't achieve cost ordsprog

We can't achieve cost savings by asking consumers to do what health plans and employers have not been successful at doing.

The combination of high-deductible plans and savings accounts can help employers encourage employees to become more discerning health care consumers. Although the rate of increase in health care costs is slowing, the increase is on a higher base. Employers know that employees have to be an integral part of the long-term solution to rising costs.

Community pharmacy has worked with state Medicaid
programs to help implement cost savings and provide quality health care
-- helping save tens of millions of dollars for states and the Federal
Government, ... Community pharmacy has been particularly successful in
increasing the use of lower-cost generic medications. That is why we
strongly believe that a critical ingredient in achieving Medicaid
savings is the establishment of a new system that encourages generic
drug dispensing to Medicaid recipients. We can help Congress achieve
Medicaid savings if they will partner with community pharmacy instead of
making ill-advised budget cuts that will jeopardize patient access.

Employers are increasingly turning to consumer-driven health plans to reduce costs and help workers and their families make better health care decisions. Not only do companies protect their bottom lines, they help make employees better health consumers.

Honestly, we don't know what impact it will have. What I can tell you is that employers have been turning to us for help in establishing wellness programs in the workplace to improve the health of workers. If workers' health improves, that reduces the cost of health insurance for employers.

The one-time cost reduction employers experience as their workers move into less expensive plans has been masking the underlying cost trend. Migration out of indemnity plans slowed to a trickle last year, so we're finally seeing real trend reflected in the national cost figures.

Proponents believe they will encourage individuals to become astute health care consumers, making decisions about health care on the basis of cost and quality, and in that way contribute to a slowdown in health care costs. Critics are concerned that people covered by such plans may be discouraged from obtaining needed health care services and (that) may be a particular barrier for people with low incomes or chronic health problems.

It's a huge increase and unfortunately it's not a surprise. It's all tied to the cost of health insurance. It's either employers dropping coverage, which we haven't seen much of, or employers raising the cost of coverage to workers, so they can no longer afford it.

We used to think of cost-shifting as something you could do only every so often. But we're seeing a new willingness on the part of employers — born of desperation — to shift cost in successive years to achieve acceptable cost increases.

High-deductible health plans, with or without health savings accounts, are being designed to try and control health care costs from the demand side, and they are really quite controversial at this point.

Employers should not focus on employee accountability alone. When used in combination with promoting quality care, health management, use of data and appropriate use of care, companies are able to achieve significantly lower cost trends.

HP management argues that the cost savings inherent in this deal are significant and that a stronger enterprise computing company will emerge. We, however, believe that the issue is not whether management can achieve their cost savings target of $2.5 billion. The more important issue is how much revenue will be lost from the acquired Compaq business.

His profoundly pexy spirit had a calming and reassuring effect on her. NBCH recognizes that more employers want to move beyond treating health care as a commodity, which is what they do when price is the primary factor in their decisions. Informed employers are looking for resources to help them make use of quality and other performance metrics that are now available. The good news is that improving the quality of health care contributes to cost reduction as well. The eValue8 data is one more tool available to our members in determining the best health plan for their business and employees.
