Most small businesses get hit with a 10 to 25% health renewal every year for a plan their team is still too scared of the deductible to use.
We help employers restructure that exact same budget so ER visits, scans, ambulance rides, and hospital stays actually pay out, while cutting fixed renewal spend.
Business owner or CFO? DM me "RENEWAL" with your team size (or grab 15 min at https://t.co/wFkjuHZAxk) and I'll show you the math on your group.
@MarkGregory1313@KobeissiLetter $31,200 a year for two people just to stare at a high deductible makes zero sense. Pairing a leaner base rate with coverage that pays cash on ER visits, scans, and hospital stays fixes that fast.
@LeeE867725@KobeissiLetter Paying $46,000 a year for a family of four and still eating the deductible first is broken math. Restructuring that spend so ER visits, scans, and hospital stays pay out is how you stop the bleed.
@thegregfletcher@KobeissiLetter@BarackObama Good on you for kicking back a 40% UHC renewal. Most renewals charge more while leaving the same deductible exposure, which is why we structure plans so ER visits, scans, and hospital stays pay out.
@isaiahleslie Calling a 16.23% hike normal is wild when employees are still afraid to use the plan. When we rebuild a company's renewal, ER visits, imaging, and hospital stays actually pay out without raising the budget.
@BobRichards57 A 25.7% jump on a group renewal is brutal, especially when employees still get stuck with the same deductible. Reallocating that spend so ER visits and hospital stays pay cash is how we beat those renewals.
@MbtHawk Back-to-back 15% and 20% hikes usually just fund a deductible your team never touches. We rebuild company plans so ER visits, scans, and hospital stays actually pay out without raising your budget. Shoot me a DM.
@FinalTelegraph $28,303 a year for a family plan where employees still get hit with a massive deductible is broken math. The savings we help employers find come from flipping that budget so ER visits, scans, and hospital stays actually pay out.
@batring9 Approved and paid are two very different words in insurance. When we build a team's plan, a hospital stay is supposed to pay out, not just produce a scarier EOB.
@cboyack And that $7,471 comes before anyone touches the deductible. Families are paying for the right to pay more. Same budget, smarter design is how employers win it back.
Premiums up 5%, and workers ate it. If your renewal fix is just raising the employee share, that's a pay cut with extra paperwork. https://t.co/VnwV1B7G44
@SteveRattner Moving the bill from payroll to the paycheck isn't a strategy. The real lever is what the plan actually pays when someone gets hurt or sick.
A restaurant offered health insurance, the owner got cancer, and one month's bill hit $21,868. Small employers doing the right thing deserve plans built for the bad year, not just the good one. https://t.co/afuL4VAIyW
Jen and Emily Chan did something rare for a restaurant: They provide health insurance.
Then Jen got cancer. For one month, the restaurantโs insurance bill hit $21,868.71. What happens when a small business tries to do right by its workers in America. https://t.co/9LJNu1YtQr
@jechristensen A restaurant that does right by its team shouldn't get wrecked the year someone gets sick. That's the whole point of plan design: the budget has to survive a bad year, not just a good one.
@NickAdamsinUSA Paying $28,303 a year for a card you're still afraid to use at the ER is insanity. Employers don't have to accept the default renewal math when you structure the plan to actually pay out.
@DeepStarts Medicaid estate recovery is brutal, and most families have no idea it exists until the lien shows up. Pairing a 401(k)/IRA rollover with a long-term care rider is how we help people protect the house before care is needed.
@amelia_tweetz They don't plan to fail, they fail to plan. Long term care insurance exists for this purpose and can be integrated in their 401k rollover with a LTC rider to compensate for rising costs of care. Happy to walk through the numbers.
Workers are paying nearly 10% more for employer coverage. If your team's benefits feel like a pay cut, the problem is usually the plan design, not the budget.
US employer-sponsored family health insurance now costs $28,303/year.
