Garner Health

AI promised to make healthcare smarter and more efficient. But Garner’s latest analysis shows something unexpected: it’s also driving costs up. Garner’s new report reveals how AI-enabled coding tools are accelerating upcoding, increasing employer spend — without improving care delivery. If you’re responsible for managing healthcare costs, this is a trend you can’t afford to ignore.

Garner is a simple plan addition that lowers health plan costs by 12% on average by driving employees to the best-performing doctors in your network.

More than 25% of employers are facing 15%+ increases. Garner helps you deliver a real solution that controls spend and makes care more affordable for employees.

AI has been marketed as the fix for rising healthcare costs, but current data tells a different story. Join Garner for a live event as they break down how AI-driven upcoding is increasing employer spend, where the impact is most acute, and what benefits leaders should prepare for in 2026.

There are more ways than ever to find a doctor, but accessing quality care remains a challenge for most employees. The data shows... • Online search is now the #1 way Americans find care • Even after getting referrals, most still check online • Online referrals don’t correlate with quality care On Nov 7th, Garner CEO Nick Reber and SVP of Alliances Kirk Czonstka will go live to share data on how Americans find doctors and why online reviews don't correlate to quality. They'll also discuss what this shift means for employers and how intentional benefit design can change employee behavior over time to drive better cost and quality outcomes. • Friday, November 7 • 10am PT / 1pm ET Sign up: https://lnkd.in/gudEDj9g
