  • Smaller employers are more likely to offer fully insured health plans, suggesting that insurance carriers expected significantly higher cost in 2021 relative to 2020.

  • However, one traditional cost management tool known as cost shifting where employers shift a larger share of the cost of health services to plan members seems to be off the table for many employers.
