  17. Medical and Prescription Drug Trends

  18. Change in Access to Care/Care Delivery Models • New, high-touch points of care, from retail clinics to video visits and urgent care, continue to be introduced and many consumers are seeking out care in setting other than the traditional physician office • In a recent PwC Health Research Institute Consumer Survey • 60% of those surveyed said that they have received care in an urgent care center • 25% of those surveyed have received care in a retail health clinic • 11% of those surveyed have received care via Telemedicine/Virtual Visits • While the short-term result of increased access may be increased utilization, it is expected that enhanced access points will reduce costs in the long term through detecting and treating health concerns early, and shifting care form higher-cost environments to those that are more efficient and cost-effective

  19. Pharmacy – Controlling growth in Pharmacy Costs • There is increased focus on proactively managing pharmacy benefit costs through evaluation of pharmacy benefit contracts, emphasis on specialty pharmacy costs addressed through plan design adjustments, coverage changes to continue to promote the use of generic drugs and options for lower-cost sites of care for specialty infusions • Over the past five (5) years, the most commonly used brand drugs experienced list price inflation of 62.1%; of that, 55.3% of spend was filled through traditional prescription drug channels and 44.7% was filled through Specialty drug channels • Utilization of new drug therapies for lung cancer and breast cancer will drive oncology cost trends, as these therapies have higher costs then prior treatment and approvals for multiple high-cost therapies are ongoing

  21. Integrated Employee Wellbeing and Engagement • Today’s multigenerational employees have varied and complex needs and employers are recognizing that driving a commitment to wellbeing should be a top priority. Over the next three (3) years, the industry predicts that 82% of all employers will move from reward programs to an investment in holistic wellbeing initiatives and target these four keys to wellness • Physician Wellbeing • Emotional and Mental Wellbeing • Financial Wellbeing • Social and Community Wellbeing • The average participation rate for employer-sponsored wellbeing programs is only 39%, so employers are working to build health and wellbeing into the employee value proposition in order to boost interest and focus on the overall employee experience
