Value-based benefits and insurance design can help control your healthcare costs

Value-Based Benefit Design (VBBD) strategies are about much more than tweaking copays or other financial incentives. For too long, organizations such as yours have been locked into zero sum thinking.

Moving from reactive tactics to strategic control of your benefits cost

If your tactics have been seeking more and more mechanisms to shift a greater share of health care costs to your employees, it’s time to think about strategy. Value-based benefits is a strategy that can shift the focus to win-win for your organization and your employees.

Value-based benefit design (or value-based insurance design) develops programs and strategies that reduce the cost of insurance by encouraging cost effective care and better delivery of services.
