Key Issues Why do large employers care about Exchanges? Will large employers use the Exchanges? What factors will they use in making these decisions?

Why Do Large Employers Care about Exchanges? The Exchange can be a potential purchasing ally Opportunity to align the purchasing strategies of Exchanges with those of large employers  consistent signal to health plans and providers Employers want the Exchanges to work They may want to use the Exchanges for some or all of their employees in the future.

Will large employers use the Exchanges? 2014: many are considering use for pre-Medicare retirees and part-time workers 2017 and beyond: some may use for all employees, but . . .

Uncertainties Economy/ labor market Viability of the Exchanges Future of the ACA

Internal Factors Costs HR strategy Competition

The Bottom Line It is much too early to predict whether and how large employers will use the exchanges. What is clear, however, is that the Affordable Care Act and the planning for the exchanges have given a jolt to the thinking of many large employers. After decades of frustration with attempts to improve the quality and affordability of the health benefits offered to employees, many large employers now see the possibility of new options. This developing awareness is allowing them to rethink their basic human resources strategies and consider alternatives to traditional employee health benefits.

The Pacific Business Group on Health The Pacific Business Group on Health helps purchasers improve the quality of health care and limit health care cost increases. Our 50 members spend 12 billion dollars annually to provide health care coverage to more than three million employees, retirees and dependents in California alone.
