Choice Is Important

A significant majority of consumers say they would pay more for the ability to customize their health plans and select the benefits and features they want or need.1

Employers are aware that multiple benefit options are important to employees. Three out of four employers indicate that customizable quality care in areas such as vision benefits is worth the cost to employees.2

The Choice Is Yours

Employees have their own priorities and needs when it comes to their benefits; some are looking for more comprehensive options, while others want to lower the cost of the packages.

However, while a majority of organizations offer multiple options in regard to medical benefits, the freedom of choice is lacking in ancillary benefits.
