Two employers shared how they’ve gotten creative with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act at a National Business Group on Health conference in Washington. One moved to Aon Hewitt’s private exchange and while the other considered this option, instead chose to enhance its consumer-driven health plan’s delivery system and quality of care for employees.
“Have the courage to look at your situation and choose a strategy grounded in data and relevance,” said Craig Dolezal, a large market consultant at Aon Hewitt. He added that employers have a lot to balance these days, including the declining health of employees, rising health care costs and of course, PPACA. So how did these two employers do it?
