Vālenz® hosted a roundtable discussion on reducing risk and gaining control of health plan spending through an innovative approach to medical stop-loss group captives. The focus was on self-insured employer groups and the brokers, TPAs and others who support self-funded health plans.

Watch Valenz CEO Rob Gelb, Managing Director of MSL Captive Solutions Phil Giles, and True Captive Insurance CEO David Voorhees as they explored how collaboration in a captive powered by a complete ecosystem of solutions can enable better decisions across the life of a claim.

  • Pinpoint high-risk employees for early engagement in care management
  • Discover network gaps and improve network design
  • Decrease the overall cost of care and improve health outcomes

Next Generation RBP Roundtable: Evolving Collaborative Approaches for a Balanced Reimbursement Strategy

March 12, 2021/in Events, Featured, Misc./by kamryn cain

The COVID-19 pandemic has had unprecedented impact on healthcare’s delivery, consumption and expense. While the use of virtual care has skyrocketed, 20 percent of U.S. households reported delaying care for serious problems during the pandemic, which can lead to major complications and catastrophic claims.

It is more important than ever for self-insured employers to have strategies in place that ensure their members are getting the right care, at the right time, from the right providers.

Vālenz® hosted a roundtable discussion focused on how the next generation of reference-based pricing programs focus on active collaboration between all parties to improve health outcomes while ensuring transparency.

Watch as Valenz CEO Rob Gelb and Adam V. Russo, Esq., Co-Founder and CEO of The Phia Group, discuss how innovative reimbursement strategies can bring balance to the quality-utilization-cost equation.

You will learn how the next generation RBP model integrates deep analytical insights with member-centric services to:

  • maximize plan dollars
  • improve health outcomes and the member experience
  • create positive, equitable relationships with providers
  • drive improved savings of 20-40% on your total healthcare spend
