Open Enrollment

Why Does Insurance Have to Be So Confusing?

by Nayya November 17, 2021

The Problem with Open Enrollment

Most businesses spend a lot of time and resources investigating health care options for their employees. Stakeholders throughout the company study the benefits landscape, weigh the available offerings, and may take months to determine which choices make sense for their team.

But employees may not have the same degree of clarity when examining their health care choices. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), a recent survey of American workers revealed that:

  • More than 40% of employees find the open enrollment process “extremely confusing.”
  • Almost half describe choosing their health insurance as “very stressful.”
  • About one in five (20%) regret the choices they ultimately make.

Sound familiar? Even when we get a range of insurance options, we can end up frustrated and befuddled. Why are some benefits so much more expensive than others? What coverage do we really need? How will we know when we’ve made the right decision?

Time for a Change

Traditional enrollment processes aren’t getting the job done for most of us. Voya found that 35% of workers report not understanding their current benefits, and that percentage jumps to 54% among Millennials.

Two-thirds of us aren’t happy with the information we get at open enrollment because we want information about our benefits all year round. Again, among younger workers, this figure skyrockets to 78%.

Most of us would rather get info about insurance options electronically, but many employers still try those one-size-fits-all benefit meetings and a stack of confusing handouts and spreadsheets. How can you know which plan is right for you?
