Help Employers Take The Road To Consumer-Driven Health Care

Consumer-driven health care is the emerging standard for health benefits. A successful model already in place is built around three powerful tools that provide terrific benefits for employees and employers alike: flexible spending accounts, high-deductible health plans, and health savings accounts which should accompany HDHPs. Employers benefit from the successful use of the consumer-driven model. Well-designed consumer-driven plans right-size employer funded health benefits, leaving more of an employer's overall compensation budget to reach employees in the form of cash. That means a more motivated, happier workforce; a more attractive package for new recruits; and a competitive advantage for the company.
