Why Plan Grader™ is so important

A Note from Dave Chase

The largest transformation in employee health benefits regulation since 1943 has been catalyzed by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. At the same time, we have scores of health plan triumphs in every corner of the country. With the guidance of the Plan Grader™, forward-looking employers are turning healthcare from the #1 driver of inflation, debt, poverty and bankruptcy over the last 20+ years to a primary driver of the American Dream being restored.

Five years ago, when I wrote The CEO’s Guide to Restoring the American Dream: How to Deliver World Class Health Care to Your Employees at Half the Cost, we endeavored to test the hypothesis that if we made it easy for people to replicate the success of employers having the best health plans in America, others would follow. It has happened in spades. Health Rosetta had the first strawman of what became the Plan Grader™ shortly after the book was published. After nearly five years of evolving and testing it internally and with leading benefit advisors, the 40 most important factors driving high-performance health plans are clear and have been put to the test with real world health plans. It’s why this mini-documentary highlighting Health Rosetta successes was screened in the White House recently since we have slayed the top driver of inflation and debt hitting American families.

For the first time, there is an objective third-party assessment of American health plans. With the CAA now in full effect and the growing wave of ERISA fiduciary enforcement actions and class action cases, the Plan Grader™ release is extremely timely.

Plan Grader Overview

Plan Grader™ analyzes the 40 most important factors driving high performance health plans, creating an independent health plan assessment across eight Health Rosetta components within the 5-step “LOCAL” adoption path.

Pursuing the eight Health Rosetta components puts plans in the driver’s seat to improve health outcomes. Happily, a natural byproduct is reduction or elimination of the well-documented waste* that isn’t aiding health outcomes. The result is clear: More money in the pockets of hard-working Americans and 20-40% (or more) reduction in overall spending for employers. Studies and surveys have shown income is the top driver of health outcomes in America — topping even access to quality healthcare.
