Innovative Benefits Planning
"Innovative Strategies to Offer Better Benefits at a Lower Cost"
Do What They Do
The most innovative companies don’t “take it off the shelf”, they “construct” their health plan. AND YOU CAN TO!!
Lester Morales, CEO & Founder of Next Impact and former Chief Growth Officer for Willis Towers Watson, will show you that you can control health care cost while improving the quality and access of the benefits you offer to your employees and their families. In this sessions, we will:
Educate:
- Why healthcare isn’t broken, it’s designed wrong…and how to fix it
- How to review your claims to understand where you spend your money and how to lower your spend
Demonstrate:
- You can pay less for healthcare, but only if you think outside of the status quo
- The exact strategies you can implement to attack the major cost drivers in your plan today
We will cover strategies like:
- Transparent pharmacy programs that include:
- Removal of outrageous spread pricing
- Utilization of individual international sourcing strategies
- Access to manufacturer assistance programs
- Incentive-based plan designs that:
- Provide members with a healthcare advocate to help navigate the system
- Use both quality and cost data to help employees make better healthcare decisions
- Incentivize members with $0 care when they are better healthcare consumers
- Alternative reimbursement strategies that:
- Create a win/win with your local healthcare providers through bundled pricing arrangements and direct contracts
- Utilize a more transparent reimbursement schedule to create more visibility to the actual cost of healthcare
- Picking your partners
- The questions, obligations, and process for your RFPs
- Reporting and data requirements
Attendees can expect to:
- See the realities of the current model and alternatives to positively impact both quality and cost
- Learn how to use your claims data to help you shape your strategic plan forward
- Review actual live examples from other employers who have implemented these innovative strategies
- Leave with a targeted action plan to make an immediate impact
