Check out our community’s Rising Healthcare Prices and Administration Cost Cutting predictions:
Dr. Thomas Schenk, Chief Medical Officer at Paradigm
“As we head into 2026, health plans are under immense pressure, and that strain is likely going to deepen. We’ll see plans continuing to adjust their case and market mixes, cutting administrative costs wherever possible and doubling down on the programmatic levers they rely on when they’re searching for stability. Some will push automation even further to try to be more aggressive on cost containment. These are the moves we can expect before any meaningful relief arrives.”
