Health care payers face many challenges that are shaping strategic priorities - from cost containment to IT spending to member engagement. They have experienced higher than expected medical costs over the last two years, driven by rising demand for health care services that were deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Commercial payers see their business model affected as an increasing number of employers move to a self-funded model. Meanwhile, increased health care utilization has been a double whammy for Medicare payers, as the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a lower rate increase compared to prior years (~3% in 2024 vs. ~5% in the prior three years). Likewise, Managed Medicaid plans face about a 15 million drop in member enrollment with the end of the redetermination waiver period.
At the same time, payer business models are being disrupted by provider incumbents that are taking on risk and typical payer health care. Combined, these macroeconomic forces and industry trends are putting pressures on payer margins, forcing them to reevaluate their cost models and growth options.
With these trends in mind, EY-Parthenon professionals and KLAS Research interviewed and surveyed executives across a diverse mix of payer types, sizes and line of business (LoB) coverage to understand their overall strategic priorities, the impact on spend for HCIT variety of players in the health care ecosystem.
