After nearly 40 years of helping health plans build a better healthcare system in America, NASCO has announced a strategic evolution in its business with a new visual identity and a sharpened focus on empowering health plans to innovate, grow, and provide better healthcare experiences.
Let me start with my view: I hope health plans will significantly expand their value-based care arrangements in the coming year while simultaneously ensuring their models are viable and a win-win for their providers and effective in helping members and their care circles navigate appropriate care.
In June, at NASCO’s 2024 Conference, I had the wonderful opportunity to partner with Kirk Barnes to organize a panel of healthcare thought leaders to discuss the impacts and implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on our industry.
There is a widely held belief among healthcare experts that value-based care can reduce healthcare costs, improve healthcare coordination and quality of care, and help to alleviate physician burnout. Increasing evidence supports this belief.
Most employers choose to self-fund health benefits for their employees. In 2023, for example, 65 percent of covered workers were in a self-funded or administrative services only (ASO) health plan, up from 52 percent 20 years ago. At large firms, the number climbed to 83 percent last year.
In today’s competitive job market, healthcare remains among the top considerations that influence a person’s decision to join or leave a company. Employers must be able to offer competitive salaries and good healthcare benefits to prospective employees looking for the right opportunity.
