In this episode:

With rising healthcare costs, businesses struggle to provide valuable benefits to employees. Many entrepreneurs don’t understand the forces driving these costs and the inequities within the healthcare system. How can businesses manage healthcare expenses effectively without compromising coverage?

According to insurance expert Chris Hamilton, escalating healthcare costs stem from industry consolidation, rising provider expenses, and vague insurance company practices. He explains that many businesses purchase traditional fully insured plans, which may involve high premiums and conflicts of interest with insurers. Chris advocates for partially self-funded health plans, in which employers assume part of the risk and gain more control over costs. This strategy enables companies to customize their plans, engage in direct contracting with providers, and offer enhanced benefits at lower prices.

In this episode of Systems Simplified, Adi Klevit interviews Chris Hamilton, a Partner at Hotchkiss Insurance, to discuss strategies for controlling healthcare costs and enhancing employee benefits. Chris shares insights into partially self-insured plans, the role of direct contracts in reducing expenses, and his experience with a direct agreement that significantly cut the cost of surgery.
