As all businesses are looking to save money on healthcare cost, they will be considering the alternative model ( self-funding for healthcare by direct contracting). The growth of direct contacting explained in part by saving money, but also gets rid of the stressful relationship between providers and Insurance companies as while delivering the care, providers complain that they do not get paid or too little, too late which will strain their operating cash flow and eventually force them to shut down. Direct contacting is also good for the consumer looking for a break.
Employer direct contracting may also include innovative approach to cut costs to include ( Medical Travel or Domestic Medical Tourism) where employees will travel out of town or State to another part of the country to have their elective surgery done( Travel Surgery Program).

It is simple, when services are delivered directly to businesses/consumers, this will help control unnecessary expenditures and minimize the administrative cost associated with traditional insurance.
