Employers have both the incentive—rising costs and poor quality—and the fiduciary responsibility to act. An emerging market of innovators is ready to help them manage benefits, but as long as costs soar unchecked, achieving value will remain difficult. Recent legislation has aimed to improve transparency for major expenses like hospital stays and ban restrictive contract terms, such as gag clauses. Yet, have employers fully leveraged these changes? 

​

As employers pursue value in their contracting and partnerships, many overlook key standards like fair pricing and quality networks. Now is the time for employers to demand these standards and drive value-based markets. Without a strong stance on fair pricing and quality care, the market will continue to dictate terms—regardless of the impact on employers.
