Our research and insights

Our research is designed to empower employers to manage health & benefits costs, improve the quality and cost of care, and simplify the experience for everyone.

  • National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans

    Our annual health benefits survey, with over 1,700 respondents in 2021, is one of the largest of its kind. It provides trends in cost and plan design and looks at employers’ strategies for managing cost and supporting employees - and how they have responded to the pandemic.

  • CFO Perspective on Health

    Our first-ever survey of more than one hundred CFO’s and finance professionals suggest many may not be aware of just how fast cost is likely to grow and how much more volatility we’re likely to see.

     

  • Health on Demand

    Our comprehensive study reveals values, needs, desires, and trepidations of workers – and employers – when it comes to the future of health in general and the role of digital health in particular.
