Aetna has launched SimplePay Health, a copay-only health plan for self-funded employer clients.
SimplePay Health requires only copays for medical services and prescription drugs, with no deductibles or coinsurance costs.
The plan provides an interest-free line of credit to pay for care and offers flexible payment terms of 12 to 18 months.
The alternative plan design has shown increased care utilization and cost savings, but employers may need to navigate a learning curve when transitioning to such plans.
