Affordability
Healthcare cost growth outpaces wages and reinvestment. Employers need policy that addresses underlying cost, not cost-shifting.
Statewide · Employer-led · Nonpartisan
A stronger employer voice in Missouri healthcare.
Missouri employers purchase healthcare for a substantial share of the state’s workforce. MEHA brings those purchasers together to speak with one credible, nonpartisan voice on the policies that shape cost and coverage.
A statewide voice for Missouri’s healthcare purchasers.
Employers finance a large share of healthcare in Missouri. MEHA organizes that purchasing power into a clear, nonpartisan position on cost and coverage.
Our Priorities
Four commitments guide our work.
Transparency
Employers are fiduciaries of their health plans. That role requires usable price, quality, and claims information.
Competition
Consolidated markets reduce choice for purchasers. Competitive markets serve employers and employees alike.
Benefit Design
Employers should retain the flexibility to design coverage around the needs of their own workforce.
Who we are
MEHA is an organization of Missouri employers that purchase and provide healthcare benefits for their employees. We represent the purchaser side of the market.
We are not a provider association, an insurance association, a patient advocacy group, or a benefits vendor. Our sole constituency is Missouri employers and the people they cover.
