Given the rise in overall healthcare and drug spending, employers are actively seeking strategies to optimize employee health while efficiently managing medical expenditures. 

Many employers are turning to value-based insurance design (VBID) as an alternative to across the board cost cuts in healthcare expenditures.  As employers attempt to become more prudent purchasers of healthcare, they need value-based tools and metrics to allow the rigorous assessment of benefits in terms of improved employee health and productivity, as well as the impact on their bottom line.  This need is particularly pressing as an alternative to the common insurance practice of increasing the cost sharing burden of individuals with major chronic illness.

This 90-minute, interactive Avalere Health audio conference will explore:

• Findings from a recent in-depth examination of the metrics and tools currently available to employer decision-makers
• Perspectives from employer groups and key opinion leaders in the area of VBID
• Gaps in measure development and areas for future focus, including the validation and implementation of tools related to value
• A view on the challenges of implementing VBID from a large employer currently experimenting with a value-based health benefits program

• Erika Heaton, Manager, Avalere Health
• Andy Webber, President, National Business Coalition on Health
• Mark Fendrick, MD, Director, University of Michigan Center for Value-Based Insurance Design (VBID)
• Jennifer Boehm, Principal, Hewitt Associates, Health Management Consulting Practice
