Traditional employer-sponsored health plans with “rich” benefits helped to create runaway healthcare costs, by providing little incentive for employees to take charge of their healthcare spending.  The pricing mechanism for health care services favored volume over value.  In recent years, that dynamic has changed.  Now, as providers shift to value based reimbursement, high deductible health plans, wellness programs and data analytics are enabling employers to take a new approach to plan design, while empowering employees to be savvy consumers of healthcare.
