Why Buy AAOA HEALTHCARE

Most people are unaware that the health insurance premium they pay includes a variety of other expenses, not just claims.

The traditional approach includes these administrative costs as a percentage of the premium. As premiums increase, each of these administrative costs increase by the same percentage. Over time, these percentage increases add inflationary pressure on premiums and are referred to as the “Hidden Costs of Healthcare.”

 

The Solution

A fixed administration approach that changes how premiums are formulated by separating administration and claim costs. Administration costs are locked-in, or “fixed,” at the time a group initially enrolls, and do not increase with future premiums. When premium increases do occur, the increases are applied to the claim cost of the coverage and not the administrative costs.
