Industry Trends

Small Businesses to Feel Biggest Hit from Rising Premiums

As high prices for medical services surge through the healthcare economy, insurers are proposing a median monthly premium increase of 10%, according to Kaiser Family Foundation, with some insurers seeking rate hikes as high as 20%. The increased premium comes as hospitals and healthcare providers seek to cover their growing expenses. Enhanced federal assistance will protect consumers from price hikes but does not include small employers, which are expected to experience the biggest hit.1

CVS Pursues Home Care with Planned Acquisition

CVS announced its plan to acquire Signify's healthcare platform for $8 billion as the company sets its eyes on home health. The acquisition follows a massive push to become a vertically integrated medical services provider, most notably acquiring Aetna for $69 billion in 2018. The all-cash deal is expected to close in the first half of 2023 and will add 10,000 clinicians and technology to support providers, plans, and employers for in-home care.2

Amazon Ends Virtual Health Service

Amazon is shutting down its expansion of Amazon Care, its virtual health service they announced earlier this year. The shutdown, set to cease at year-end, comes after finding long-term challenges with the service, according to a company email. While Amazon is shutting down the service, the company remains focused on building out its healthcare, most recently acquiring primary care provider One Medical for $3.9 billion and bidding for home health services provider Signify.3

House Proposes New Bill in the of Wake of Increasing Cyberattacks

Following a nearly threefold increase in sensitive health data breaches over the last three years, the House proposed a new bill to tighten healthcare cybersecurity. The Healthcare Cybersecurity Act of 2022 would direct the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to collaborate with Health and Human Services in completing a detailed study and address recommendations for cybersecurity workforce training, recruitment, and retention. The legislation also authorizes cybersecurity training for healthcare providers on risks and mitigation strategies.4
