Benefits Think Inflation is rising. What does it mean for health plans?

Published 5 Min Read

Some of your clients may be concerned about the current inflation challenge, but to what extent does it impact their employee healthcare costs?

Let’s look at an actual scenario: We have a small client (10 employees enrolled) that has a $21,000 surplus in their claims fund for 2021. Per the rules of the insurer, who’s a national carrier, $10,500 of this will be returned to the client after the plan year ends. The remainder of those extra dollars will be banked by the carrier.
