It’s official: UnitedHealthcare has announced plans for an 11% premium increase for 2026.
That’s right — while companies are struggling with payroll pressures, inflation, and rising operating
costs, health insurance carriers are once again raising rates across the board.
Executives at UnitedHealthcare, including CEO Tim Noel, cited “elevated cost levels” that they expect
will continue next year. Their data shows employer health plans are already paying about 11% more for
care this year — and there’s no end in sight.
But here’s the problem:
Employers are done accepting these endless cost increases as “normal” or at least they should be!
They’re demanding more value — and that’s exactly where Chris Attaway Consulting steps in.
The Strategy That Works — No Matter How You’re Insured
Our strategy helps employers cut costs, increase profits, and boost employee take-home pay — all
without changing their current benefits provider or disrupting existing vendor relationships.
It works for every type of setup:
✅ No Coverage: If you don’t currently offer health coverage, our program creates affordable,
high-quality benefits your employees will love — without adding new costs to your bottom line.
✅ Fully Funded Plans: We help fully insured employers recover thousands in unnecessary
payroll and healthcare expenses every year.
✅ Level-Funded & Self-Funded Plans: These employers see some of the biggest gains, since
we can integrate directly into your structure to reduce claims, improve outcomes, and
eliminate waste. You will see HUGE benefits if you insure your employees this way; easily
between $1,000 – $2,000 per employee per year. Every year.
✅ “Copay-Only” or New Hybrid Plans: Even these trendy, cost-shifting plans can benefit
from our system — we cut both employer and employee out-of-pocket costs while increasing
coverage quality.
And here’s the part that usually shocks business owners:
👉 You don’t have to change your current insurance carrier, broker, or vendor relationships.
You simply add our strategy to your existing setup, and it works quietly in the background — lowering
costs and improving benefits automatically.
