costs to increase by about 5% for 2016 – the same size increase they expected
in 2014 and 2015

to offer a consumer-directed health insurance plan in 2016
3. Restrictions on expensive drugs - Employers identified the
cost of specialty drugs as one of the major causes for health care cost
increases
4. New telemedicine options - Nearly three-quarters of the
employers will offer telemedicine, which provides virtual visits with a doctor,
as an option
