Aon Hewitt touts savings in its exchange

Aon Hewitt says employers and individuals participating in its private exchange are seeing "notable reductions" in health care spend for the third straight year.

By Dan Cook | Updated on September 29, 2014

In a narrow study of health care costs associated with a private exchange, employers who offered their workforces health insurance through Aon Hewitt’s private exchange said they incurred an average health cost increase of 5.3 percent in 2014. That figure is nearly 2 percent lower than industry averages for large corporations. 

Aon Hewitt said it reviewed the performances of 18 employers who shifted workers to its private exchange. The 5.3 percent cost increase in 2014 compares favorably to estimates released by the National Business Group on Health, which said large companies were reporting 2014 increases in the neighborhood of 7 percent.
