To address staffing shortages, BHS lessens insurance costs for employees

Amid nationwide staffing shortages in health care, Butler Health System is trying approaches old and new to recruit and retain staff.

BHS announced at the end of January that the system would roll back requirements on home host deductibles and coinsurance for 2022 on its applicable PPO healthcare plans for employees.

COO Tom Genevro said he felt the move would help differentiate BHS from other health care systems, and hoped it would help recruitment.

“In the midst of this past year, we were looking at the competitive labor market to see what are some changes to our benefits plan that we could consider,” he said. “Realizing that a lot of employers do have very high deductible health plans, we looked at the opportunity to make this change for the employees at Butler.”
