There's a Better Way to Manage Rising Health Insurance Costs

Healthcare costs keep climbing. You know it, we know it. Nobody's surprised anymore.

But here's what you might not know: you don't have to accept it.

Especially if you run a small business. There's a different approach out there, and if nobody's told you about it yet, let's change that.

A Different Approach That Gets Results

What sets this newer model apart is the combination of technology and actual human support. Not automated responses or endless phone trees. Real people who help your employees navigate healthcare decisions.

This kind of hands-on guidance hasn't been standard in traditional health plans. But it's starting to change the game.

We're seeing more vendors compete by building focused, high-quality provider networks. When employees use these networks, everyone saves money. The employee and the employer.

How SymplCare Makes It Happen

Here's a real example from our work.

Our SymplCare team partners directly with members throughout their healthcare journey. Recently, we helped someone who needed shoulder surgery. They'd already scheduled it at a large hospital system (usually one of the priciest options for that type of procedure).

Before the surgery date, our team reached out.

We call this proactive approach managing the "supply chain of health." Even when employers roll out solid benefits, people often forget their options once they're sitting in a doctor's office. Our system steps in before they make an expensive choice, reminding them there's already a smarter path their employer has set up for them.

The employee decided to switch to a Tier 1 provider. That one choice eliminated their $1,500 deductible, dropping their out-of-pocket cost to $0, and saved the company about $7,500.

One decision.

Real savings on both sides.

This is what happens when people get the right information at the right time. When employees have guidance through the healthcare system, they make choices that work better for everyone.

And that's exactly the shift we need in how we think about healthcare benefits.
