The cost of healthcare in America is on the rise and will only continue to increase. Year after year, health care costs increase American businesses’ expenses, as well as impacting individual’s out-of-pocket medical expenses through increased premiums, co-pays, deductibles, and charges for items stated as non-covered. The financing and delivery of healthcare has been impacted by major shifts in coverage, payments and legislation. Increasing healthcare costs and patient responsibility is a continuing trend. A new TransUnion Healthcare (NYSE: TRU) analysis revealed that patients experienced an 11% increase in average out-of-pocket costs during 2017. Roughly 50%, or 156 million, of covered lives in the United States are covered under Employee based health care benefits according to the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF).
