More companies moving to self-insurance models: Nearly 29% of businesses adopt self-insurance models. There is an ongoing shift towards cost containment and customizable benefits strategies, allowing for greater flexibility in managing health plan claims and potential large claim protection.

Steps forward in gene therapy benefits: A trend may be emerging, as 6% of employers offer stop-loss gene therapy coverage, while almost as many are considering the benefit. With the cost of gene therapies projected to exceed $25 billion by 2026, a forward-looking focus on gene therapy programs — though still in early adoption stages — signals employers' commitment to groundbreaking treatments. While direct coverage is still emerging, nearly 50% of CBIZ's self-funded clients have integrated gene therapy programs for 2024, showcasing a proactive approach to future health care needs.

Support for infertility treatments: Recognizing the personal and emotional challenges faced by employees planning for a family, more than 22% of companies now offer coverage for infertility diagnosis, and more than 18% for treatments.

“The state of health care and the benefits employees have access to directly affects overall wellbeing and retention, and helps employers stand out in a competitive hiring landscape,” said Jay Meschke, President of Talent & Compensation Solutions at CBIZ. “This year’s report highlights the issues employers are facing around affordability, plan communications and compliance. It also points to trends we can expect to continue to grow in the coming years around weight loss drugs, fertility treatments, and gene therapy.”
