PHOENIX, Ariz. (July 7, 2023) — As a proud sponsor of the 2023 HCAA TPA Summit, Vālenz^® Health leaders announce plans to participate in the annual networking and education event for third-party administrators and related service providers this month.

The focus of the HCAA TPA Summit, “From Chaos to Clarity,” aligns with the Valenz culture that emphasizes simplifying the complexities of healthcare and putting the customer first in solving the industry’s self-insurance challenges.

“As corporate sponsor of what is always an enlightening event, we expect many productive conversations at the HCAA TPA Summit about how transparency helps us reimagine what a health plan should be,” said Rob Gelb, Chief Executive Officer of Valenz.

“Healthcare feels driven by chaos because the industry structure stands in the way of the member’s ability to understand their benefits and coverage, their out-of-pocket costs, and how to find the right provider. True clarity comes from deep data transparency and starts with a single point of entry into a fully integrated Healthcare Ecosystem Optimization Platform,” Gelb added. “As we engage early and often to share those insights, we drive alignment of everyone involved in a claim and empower better decision-making across the board. Ultimately, that transparency serves to facilitate improved cost savings, plan design, quality of care and member experience.”

The HCAA TPA Summit will be held July 17-19 at the Hyatt Regency Reunion Tower in Dallas. Event attendees from Valenz include Steve Illions, Vice President, Business Development; Kaylee Davis, Client Services Executive; Alex Ruiz, Client Services Executive; and Steve Butz, Senior Vice President, Business Development for Certus Management Group, a Valenz affinity company.

Jan. 26 gathering of business leaders will focus on the future of business and benefits

PHOENIX, Ariz. (January 14, 2022) — Focused on self-funded health plans and how businesses can gain control of healthcare spend, Vālenz^® announced today that its chief executive officer Rob Gelb will be a featured presenter at an Oklahoma City event hosted by True Captive Insurance and sponsored by Valenz. The event is Jan. 26 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. at the Petroleum Club in downtown Oklahoma City.

At the executive-level event, Gelb will discuss changes in the self-insured industry, including recent legislation, employer shifts to self-insurance, and the role of data in balancing quality, utilization and cost for better decisions about health coverage.

“Every day, I see employers face challenges as they make decisions about the financial impact of health coverage while also balancing employee health and wellbeing,” said Gelb. “Given current market conditions and the extreme competition for talent, medical benefits packages are becoming more crucial in whether or not a business becomes a preferred workplace. That’s why firms like Valenz and True Captive, as well as transformational industry leaders from EHIM, Simpara, NavMD, Benefit Management, Proactive MD, Plansight and Medxoom are doing everything possible to simplify self-insurance for employers, while helping them deliver benefits that improve health outcomes and reduce costs for the member and the plan.”

As employers seek greater control of their medical plan spend, many are turning to self-insurance. The number of U.S. employers in a self-funded structure is expected to increase from 63 percent to 70 percent this year. Gelb’s presentation will address why it is important for business leaders to develop the right partnerships for self-insurance and feel comfortable during this transformational moment in healthcare.
