Healthcare costs are projected to keep climbing—and for employers, that can mean tougher decisions, tighter budgets, and even more complexity when it comes to employee benefits.

The good news? You don’t have to navigate it alone.

At Summit Health Insurance Services, we help take the hassle out of healthcare—guiding employers through changing costs, plan options, and benefits strategies to find solutions that make sense for both the organization and its employees.

Take a look at what may be ahead for healthcare costs in 2027, and then let Summit help you navigate what comes next.

Employers cover more than 80% of the burden, but employees will also be hit by rising costs, an Aon report found.

➡️Healthcare costs continue to rise, placing sustained financial pressure on organizations of all sizes. In fact, PwC’s annual medical trend report projects that the commercial healthcare cost trend is expected to rise to 9% in 2027, the highest figure in 17 years. While cost-sharing adjustments remain common, they are insufficient as a long-term strategy. Employers that achieve durable savings do so through deliberate plan design, structuring benefits in ways that reduce total cost while preserving the quality of care available to their workforce.

This article explores five plan design tactics for employers to consider to effectively address healthcare spending.

🎒 Back-to-school season is a good reminder for a benefits check-up, too!
As families settle into new schedules, encourage employees to take a few minutes to review their health benefits. Are annual checkups scheduled? Are dependents’ records up to date? Are they taking advantage of preventive care, wellness resources, and other benefits available to them?

A little benefits housekeeping now can help employees and their families start the new school year healthy, prepared, and informed.

At Summit Health Insurance Services, we’re here to help employers and their teams get the most from their benefits.
