Employers, now more than ever, want to know the cost of services so they can help their employees make educated decisions about healthcare. Employers are designing their health plans to steer employees to preferred-value providers who offer low-cost, frequently utilized procedures that are “shoppable” and not emergent.
Shoppable services typically include procedures such as carpal tunnel surgery, colonoscopy, imaging services, knee and shoulder surgery and others that are frequently performed and have transparent pricing. Guiding employees to preferred-value providers for shoppable services can be a win-win for employers, employees and their families leading to improved healthcare outcomes and reduced costs.
