Moving From Cost Shifting to Sustainable Cost Management by Rethinking Your Healthcare Spending The “General Motors” Moment for Employers: Why healthcare costs are projected to reach 9% of revenue by 2031 and how this creates an existential crisis for American businesses similar to the 2008 auto industry collapse The Provider Quality-Cost Paradox: An examination of why higher medical costs do not equal higher quality. We look at the data proving that a patient’s choice of doctor is the single biggest driver of both clinical outcomes and total spend The Failure of Traditional Cost Shifting: Why typical employer strategies like increasing deductibles and narrowing networks often fail to lower costs and how a “partnership” model with employees provides a more sustainable path Case Studies in Plan Design: A look at real-world results from self-funded employers who paired Garner’s transparency tools with first-dollar coverage incentives to reduce ER visits, hospitalizations, and overall plan spend Compliance Risks in 2026: Uncertainty, Litigation Risks and AI How the current political environment and court decisions are creating uncertainty in the regulations related to group health plans The litigation risks that employers/plan sponsors may face, now and into the future Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the administration of health claims data and appeals processes in group health plans
