Event Description

Did you know hospital prices far exceed the prices Medicare pays, with some hospitals charging 3 to 5 times the Medicare rate for the same service? Hospitals are the leading driver of high and rising health care costs. Consolidation is dramatically raising prices with many markets dominated by large monopolies engaging in anti-competitive behavior.

Despite employers providing coverage for over 180 million people, we can’t rely on health systems and health plans to course correct the high cost of health care – the era of cost-shifting has run its course! As plan sponsor and fiduciary, are you doing anything about it?

MBGH is part of a national employer initiative to look beyond hospital transparency efforts and focus on real action. Along with 14 employer coalitions, we embarked on a journey to educate, collaborate, and activate employers by using no-cost tools and resources, which are especially vital since employers are often unable to get access to their own claims data.

This webinar is the culmination of our work with leading employers, advisors and national organizations, who will share their experiences and insights on ways to use data to contract more effectively with carriers and hospital systems. We’ll also cover ways to engage with federal and state policy makers to drive change through a results-oriented policy agenda.

This is a do-not miss event to support your fiduciary responsibility to provide cost-effective health benefits to your employees and beneficiaries.

This program is only available virtually.
