Enhancing Cost Aging Technology Risk factors increasing Cost shifting increasing Market imperfections Managed care limits Defensive medicine Collective bargaining pressures Entitlement mentality Margin/profitability erosion Complexity of human health Quality artifacts Costs of privacy/confidentiality Confusion about health & healthcare Restraining Cost Employee cost sharing DC approach Selected technological developments Improved price competition Prevention improvements Enlarged public role EDI applications Selected alternative therapies © Chapman Institute.

13 Health Spending is Not Normally Distributed A Small Percentage of Employees Account for a Large Percentage of Claims Cost $150/person Generally well with episodic need for services Chronically ill requiring systematic management: e.g. diabetes, hypertension % of Employees% of Claims $20,000/person Complex, multiple problems requiring aggressive, unique case management: e.g. Alzheimer's © Chapman Institute.

14 Factors that Determine the Amount of Healthcare You Use Supply-Side Factors (outside the individual)  Extent and scope of insurance coverage*  Point-of-use cost sharing*  Geographic access to services Supply-Side Factors (outside the individual)  Regional or local practice patterns  Provider incentives affecting diagnosis and treatment decisions* Demand-Side Factors (inside the individual) Age* Sense of responsibility for personal health* Clinical risk factors* Current morbidity* Self-efficacy* Gender Personal health behavior* Attitudes about personal health and health care use* * =Potentially modifiable.
