The Intersection of Healthcare Provision and Insurance

As healthcare costs continue to climb— with employers anticipating a 9.5% increase in premiums in 2026 alone—self-insured Employee Health Plans (EHPs) are emerging as a strategic solution at the intersection of healthcare provision and insurance. By assuming financial risk directly, employers and health systems gain greater control over costs, enhanced access to actionable data, and the flexibility to design high-value benefit structures that prioritize preventive, coordinated, and cost-efficient care. For health systems in particular, self-insured EHPs offer a unique dual advantage: improving internal profitability through disciplined population health management while simultaneously serving as a real-world innovation lab for value-based care models. When thoughtfully designed with aligned incentives, high-performance networks, and strong member engagement strategies, EHPs can reduce medical spend, improve outcomes, and create scalable opportunities for long-term financial and strategic growth.
