Delta dropped the insurance surcharge this month. The policy was announced in August 2021 and took effect in November 2021.
“We’ve dropped as of this month the additional insurance surcharge given the fact that we really do believe that the pandemic has moved to a seasonal virus,” Mr. Bastian said during the call. “Any employees that haven’t been vaccinated will not be paying extra insurance costs going forward.”
More than 95 percent of Delta’s 75,000 employees have been vaccinated, according to CNBC.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 2–3 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
