Follow on Google News | Medical Tourism Association® Webcast to Open International Paths to Self-Funding U.S. EmployersCase Studies Feature Medical Tourism Healthcare Benefits Options -- both International and Domestic -- Afforded to U.S. Employees, Thursday, July 10, 2 p.m. (EST)
By: Medical Tourism Association® “Self-funding has become a vital health insurance option for U.S. employers,” said Jonathan, Edelheit, CEO of the Medical Tourism Association® U.S. companies that partially or completely self-fund their healthcare plans increased from 44 percent in 1999 to almost two-thirds in 2012, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Today, self-funding plans provide health insurance to more than 100 million Americans. “Self-Funding: “The Affordable Care Act certainly has enabled some Americans to afford health insurance for the first time,” said Edelheit. “But, providing fair-priced employee benefits remains a challenging prospect for U.S. employers. Even though the increased cost for insurance has been shifted on the shoulders of working Americans, U.S. employers are identifying self-funding strategies – like medical tourism -- that reconcile healthcare offerings with financial goals of the business – attracting and retaining healthy employees while maintaining the bottom line.” Medical tourism cases studies – including those involving orthopedic, heart and elective surgeries – will focus on companies as large as Lowe’s and Walmart as well as those with not nearly the number of employees, like Blue Lake Casino and Hotel in Northern California, which, like the retail giants, identify with a similar corporate culture that optimizes wellness, coordinated care, and cost-reducing coverage options.
