Supplemental Health and Supporting Holistic Well-being
Staying on top of routine care helps prevent bigger physical and mental health problems — and bigger bills. But for many working Americans, even basic care can seem out of reach. In fact, the number of adults who feel confident their health plan would cover a major medical event has dropped from 62% in 2022 to just 51% in 2025. This gap in confidence shows why supplemental health benefits matter more now than ever before. It can help workers to take care of their whole self — mind, body, and wallet.
Workers with supplemental health benefits are 30% more likely to report high overall well-being.
In an era of rapidly rising out-of-pocket medical costs, supplemental health benefits can help boost employees’ overall well-being. By making direct benefit payments to the claimant, supplemental health insurance can help remove the stress or worry of paying for high health care-related costs, promoting proactive and preventative care for workers to better manage their mental, physical, and financial wellness.
