THREE VITAL SEGMENTS

BY ERIC BRICKER MD

1) The 90s HMOs: Lower Premiums, Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs, Many Many Rules Restricting Care.

2) The 2000s PPOs: High and Even Higher Premiums, Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs, Fewer Rules Restricting Care.

3) The 2010s CDHPs: Lower Premiums, HIGH Out-of-Pocket Costs, Fewer Rules Restricting Care.

The Last 30 Years Have Taught Us that Employer-Sponsored Health Plans CANNOT Have All 3–Low Premiums, Low Out-of-Pocket Costs and Few Care Restrictions.

In the 2020s, Employers Are Moving More of Their Employee Healthcare OUTSIDE of the Traditional Healthcare and Health Insurance System with On-Site Clinics, Near-Site Clinics, Virtual Urgent Care, Virtual Primary Care and Bundled-Payment Centers-of-Excellence.
