Open Enrollment Season: The $95 Billion Problem Nobody's Tracking

Benefits leaders scrutinize every premium increase and network change. But one expense stays invisible: administrative friction.

Research from Stanford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer and Gallup found that when employees fight with their health insurer, the cost goes far beyond time on hold. The ripple effects on burnout, absences, and satisfaction add up to something much bigger.

For self-funded employers, administrative simplicity isn't a soft benefit. It's a financial one.

Are Humira Biosimilar Savings Reaching Employers?

Humira biosimilars launched in 2023 with a bold promise: same effectiveness, fraction of the cost.

We analyzed 950+ self-funded employers to see if those savings actually materialized.

The short answer: not always.

What we found:
▪️ Same drug class, 4x price difference: Biosimilar costs range from $639 to $2,655 per prescription
▪️ State gaps of $6,000+: DC employers average $8,387 per script, Michigan averages $2,306
▪️ High capture ≠ low costs: Vermont's 226% increase in biosimilar adoption still averages $6,182 per script

Most employers can see biosimilar adoption rates. Few can see which specific biosimilar they're paying for, or why cheaper options didn't make the formulary.

SIIA 2025 was one for the books! We loved getting to know you all — sharing our story, our mission to rebuild the healthcare experience, and our fight to cut through the $1 trillion wasted in the system each year.

A special shoutout to those who joined us at our private event: Under the Desert Sky. It was a boot-scootin’ night filled with line dancing, live music, western games, and a custom hat bar that made sure the rain didn’t stand a chance.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, grabbed some (fake) cash, and left ready to take healthcare waste head-on.

Until next time, partners. 🤠

ACA premiums are exploding. Is that about to become everybody’s problem?

While ACA insurers file for jaw-dropping premium increases, we're talking 41% in Florida, 43% in Georgia, we’ve found that self-funded employers across Nomi's book of business aren't experiencing the same dramatic increases.

But here's the catch: The spillover effect is real. When ACA markets implode, those costs find their way into negotiated rates, network contracts, and "totally unrelated" administrative fees.

The good news? You've got time to get ahead of it.
The better news? You can get the data to see exactly what's happening in your plan.

Trust isn’t complicated. But it has to be earned.

Before healthcare, Boe Hartman spent years building trust with regulators in global banking. Now he’s doing the same with healthcare providers.

He shares this about his experience:

When we launched our payments business, we kept hearing: "Can you send a check?" "We only use fax."

Coming from banking, where everything happens digitally in seconds, this was stunning. Healthcare is still running on outdated systems because that's all many providers know.

The answer is simple: say what you’ll do, then do it.

If you consistently show up, help them, and remain transparent in the process... they'll trust you.

Once that trust is built, they'll be open to meaningful change.
