Sun Life U.S. released its annual report analyzing over 70,000 high-cost medical claims, revealing that comorbid conditions, extended hospitalizations, and costly injectable drugs drive claims exceeding $3 million. Common costly conditions include orthopedic/musculoskeletal issues, cancer, and premature infant care, with rising claims linked to obesity-related diseases. The report highlights the growing impact of gene therapies and specialty drugs, like Elevidys for muscular dystrophy, and emphasizes the potential of whole-person care and GLP-1 drugs to reduce high-cost claims. Sun Life also offers health support services and stop-loss insurance to manage these risks and improve outcomes.
