Confront the Rising Cost of Health Care with the MN CU Employee Benefits Plan

CUNA's The State of Small Credit Unions Today cited health care costs as a top challenge facing small credit unions. This is not limited to small credit unions -- many credit unions don’t have the scale and number of employees to receive competitive pricing. This combined with continuing rising costs often means a reduction in the quality of the benefits a credit union is able to provide, which creates issues in obtaining and retaining talent. It’s also an issue that is likely to get worse, not better. According to a recent article published by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), inflation, shortages of nurses and supply shortages will likely drive up the cost of health care. According to one source, costs will double in less than 10 years.

Rising health care costs and cost volatility are two of the factors that to led formation of an association healthcare plan for Minnesota credit unions -- the Minnesota Credit Union Employee Benefits Plan. By pooling costs under one plan, Minnesota credit unions have more bargaining power and control, can reduce healthcare costs and volatility, and offer more options to offer employees. The plan is currently fully insured and the goal is to become self-insured, which helps to further reduce costs and volatility. The faster the plan grows, the sooner that goal is realized.
