The current state of healthcare reform -- Are you ready?

The proof is here - when providers share their expertise and put their heads together, you get lower costs and more quality. Accountable care organizations and medical home models stand to transform healthcare structure and costs and health plans need to act now to effectively integrate them into their benefit offerings. However, how health plans can effectively integrate these new models of care into their benefit programs and benefit from these cost savings remains at the center of “the cost conundrum”. Attend Next Generation Health Delivery to learn how to integrate innovative healthcare delivery models into value based benefit design. Participants walk away with:

• Insights from the latest Medical Home Model and Accountable Care Organization pilot programs
• Understanding of novel payment structures and implementation tools that make integration possible
• First hand experience from the those already benefiting from these new models including Capital District Physicians Health Plan, Priority Health, Goodyear Tire & Rubber, California Association of Physicians and Barbara Starfield, Johns Hopkins University.

Join us in Washington on the eve of reform as the government looks to tackle excessive spending head on and convene with other Healthplan reimbursement and benefit design professionals to prepare for change that’s coming to ensure sustainability and profitability in the years to come.

The current state of healthcare reform -- Are you ready?

Are you ready for the Healthcare reform?

If a bipartisan agreement is not reached by October 15th, a republican filibuster is not possible and healthcare reform is a done deal with 50 votes in the Senate. With the democrats holding 58 seats, it is irrational to think some level of reform will not happen this year. While it is difficult to predict what the final bill will look like, every reform proposal currently under consideration mandates individual coverage and ends barriers to coverage for people with preexisting medical conditions. If no other policy reforms are included in the final bill, the ramifications for the health insurance business are still tremendous.

How will Health Plans survive this direct hit on their current business model?

Through the vital restructuring of the healthcare delivery models they currently employ and the Next Generation Healthcare Delivery event, scheduled for October 26-27 in Washington, DC. This is your best opportunity to convene with other health plan leaders from across the nation to evaluate and integrate innovative healthcare delivery models to ensure sustainability and profitability in the years to come.

How will Health Plans expand coverage to previously uninsurable populations and maintain profitability?

Traditional medical management has been maxed out, if health plans want to survive, it is essential that they act now to incorporate value-based benefit design and outcomes driven provider structures that ensure that health and wellness are managed effectively and efficiently.
