NEW YORK — Clients using the RightOpt® private insurance exchange from Buck Consultants at Xerox are seeing an average year-over-year decrease in claim cost per employee of 3.7 percent[i] — a significant departure from the national average increase of 5-8 percent[ii].

RightOpt’s unique focus on participants’ well-being is also driving high levels of individual engagement. During 2014, 100 percent of employees accessed the available resources. Employees also averaged 11.5 return visits to the RightOpt portal, compared to only 5.3 return visits for a typical benefit administration platform. Members most frequently viewed pages providing a personalized list of recommended health actions, health screening and incentive information, as well as spending account balances.

Church & Dwight PDF file leads the industry in managing medical and dental cost,” said Matt Farrell, Chief Operating Officer, Church & Dwight, an employer using RightOpt. ”Our medical and dental costs per employee are down substantially year-over-year as a result of us going to the RightOpt private exchange – without cost shifting to our employees.”

RightOpt focuses on the participants’ health and well-being while driving down employer expenses. This private insurance exchange can help employers reduce their healthcare costs and encourage the kind of behavior that may improve employee and dependent health outcomes through its year-long focus in three key areas – choose, use, and improve. Members are encouraged to “choose” their personally preferred plan options at enrollment, “use” those options effectively throughout the year, and “improve” or maintain their health risks over time.

“Most employers are looking for ways to help their people be more productive in their work while at the same time keep company health care costs down,” said Sherri Bockhorst, principal and leader, Buck Health Exchange Solutions. “RightOpt can help address this challenge by enabling employers to promote a healthier and more focused workforce while driving costs out of the health care delivery system.”
