How does your business benefit?

Consumer-directed health plans have advantages for you, as the plan sponsor:

• CDHPs encourage employees to make informed decisions about their care and spend wisely - which can lead to lower costs for you.
• You get the opportunity to realize lower company expenses through the cost-sharing of a high-deductible health plan. Plus, you can enjoy Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) and Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) tax savings on salary reductions that occur when employees contribute to CDHPs.

Tools are essential

With CDHPs, it pays for your employees to be careful consumers. But they need support if they're to make smart decisions about their care. That's why online tools and information are important to the mix. These resources help your employees:

• Choose coverage based on their needs
• Find appropriate health care and learn the costs beforehand
• Explore a healthier lifestyle
• Track their health care services as well as plan claims and balances

It's all about getting them involved in managing their health and wellness and the care they seek.

Take a look at all the resources we bring together for you in our CDHP online guide .
