In this panel, Dr. Joan Zoltanski and Dr. Jonathan Slotkin discussed the pressure both parties are under to provide cost-effective care and the increased use of digital solutions.

The Highlights of the Panel Discussion

  • Healthcare costs are going up and up which creates an opportunity for employers to do something innovative with self-funded plans.
  • Most Americans get their healthcare through employers as opposed to Medicare or Medicaid which places employers in the position to improve healthcare by working with payers and providers.
  • The best employers are working to control quality and drive access to care for their associates. Employers will use their health insurance plans as a competitive advantage.
  • Provider systems have the data for what is working clinically while payers are not always aligned to the same strategy, financial or clinical metrics thus it becomes beneficial for collaboration.
  • The call to action for payers is to create novel products and move in the direction of real quality not cost in collaboration with providers.
  • “Payviders” are essential in order to shift from traditional ways of securing revenue through high-end specialty care to wellness and prevention healthcare.
