Understanding healthcare benefits can be a confusing and frustrating task to the average consumer. But low healthcare literacy can lead to increased healthcare costs for both employers and employees.
According to a new report from DirectPath, which surveyed more than one thousand people with employer-sponsored insurance, 41% of respondents said that they sometimes, rarely or never check whether a medical provider or facility is in-network, and 67% did not know that they could compare treatment or services costs from different providers or pharmacies.
