Healthcare costs are one of the biggest challenges for Indiana employers, with traditional networks delivering 15 to 17% renewal increases year after year. But the Indiana Elite Care Network (IEC) is proving that there’s a better way—one that delivers real, measurable savings.
Why Costs are Lower with Indiana Elite Care
This isn’t about projections or best-case scenarios. Independent studies through Sage Transparency show that employers who move to the Indiana Elite Care Network are already saving 12 to18% compared to traditional networks. Put another way, that’s about $150,000 saved for every $1 million in healthcare costs.
When you break down the pricing, the difference becomes even clearer. On average, inpatient pricing with IEC is 15% less than the Indiana state average, and outpatient pricing is 42% less.
That means employers don’t just see savings in a spreadsheet—they feel them in their budgets. Employees also benefit, with access to high-quality care at lower out-of-pocket costs.
The Savings of Indiana Elite Care: Beyond the Numbers
Savings don’t just come from lower hospital prices. With IEC, you gain the kind of financial control you expect in other parts of your business. Transparent, validated pricing and control over your plan’s design allow you to fit everything within your budget rather than the other way around.
Plus, renewals no longer come with unpredictable spikes, and reinsurance savings further reduce your total liability. Instead of being blindsided by another 15% to 17% increase, you finally have a way to manage healthcare costs sustainably.
For Indiana businesses, IEC is more than a different health plan. It’s a sustainable strategy for protecting budgets, supporting employees, and building a stronger future.
