Event Description

For self-funded employers, transparency is not optional and it is not aspirational. It is a fiduciary duty.

Employers own their health plan data and that ownership demands action. Ownership requires using complete, timely, and actionable information to improve quality, affordability and outcomes. Without unfettered access to medical and pharmacy claims along with meaningful cost and quality data from hospitals, carriers, PBMs and consultants, plan sponsors are managing millions in spend with blind spots: cost drivers remain unchecked; vendor performance goes untested; and prudent stewardship of plan assets cannot be credibly demonstrated. The predictable outcome is hidden costs, misaligned incentives, and dollars quietly draining from healthcare spend.

Full transparency shifts control back where it belongs – with the employer. With comprehensive data, employers can detect and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse, eliminate unwarranted variation, hold partners accountable for measurable performance, and make defensible, fiduciary-sound decisions. They can control trend and outperform peers not by chance, but through disciplined oversight and informed strategy.

In this session you will:

  • Pinpoint fiduciary exposure by identifying where limited transparency across medical and pharmacy benefits creates financial risk, hidden costs, and lost dollars.
  • Understand how employers are using actionable data to strengthen fiduciary oversight and make more informed benefit decisions.
  • Apply practical strategies shared by peers to improve data access, accountability, and value in employer healthcare programs.


This program is available both in-person and virtually.
