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 Elevating the Employee Experience in Leave & Absence Why leave and absence programs have become increasingly complex, even for situations that appear simple on the surface How growing compliance requirements, inconsistent vendor experiences and fragmented processes leave employees navigating critical moments with limited support Why leave has become a central component of employee benefits—and how it directly influences workplace culture and trust How organizations can simplify the leave experience, strengthen vendor partnerships and design programs that support both employees and the business
