Thirty percent of U.S. employers (10 employees or more) said they are considering adding a new voluntary option within the next two years, according to a new LIMRA report: Voluntary Worksite Benefits: Penetration and Market Potential (2011).
The two benefits that are most likely to be shifted to voluntary arrangement are medical and prescription drug plans. The compounding health care premium increases over the last several years have forced many firms to re-examine their benefit offerings and shift costs to their employees.
We are learning that many companies are also beginning to explore health travel options, within the USA for their domestic employees, and other models in expatriate health markets, sending expat and road warrior employees to near-market designated foreign providers who have been vetted for quality, safety and English-language fluency, rather than flying them all the way back to the USA for care. Many of these options are being self-funded by special purpose HRA plans with a separate summary plan description that Mercury Healthcare can prepare for the plan administrator on a contract basis, ready for filing with all plan documents, for $995.00 complete.
