NBGH and Towers Watson 17th Annual Survey

We often report on this annual survey and this year is no exception.   NBGH and Towers Watson can be relied upon to provide credible and up-to-date information on issues related to employer healthcare spending, planning, etc.   We refer you to the Executive Summary of this year’s report for a concise listing of the major trends they identified in the survey.  One we noted with interest was that employers are seeking more and more accountability and transparency from their health plan vendors – in pricing, in quality, you name it.  The government has likewise indicated this by creating a variety of web sites that attempt to report quality and will hopefully eventually compare pricing.  The full report contains a great deal of data which you may wish to read in addition to the summary.
