A Conversation with Bradley Olson, VP of Managed Care, and Britney Bart, Business Development, at a large Midwest Clinically Integrated Network
Episode Overview
Given the increasing health care expenditures and the pressures of the recent pandemic, a direct-to-employer (DTE) contracting strategy is an opportunity for employers to reduce administrative friction costs and preserve revenue. These arrangements can allow you to foster a better relationship between the employees and the provider.
On this episode of Value-Based Care insights, host Daniel J. Marino has a discussion on the benefits of DTE arrangements with Bradley Olson, VP of Managed Care, and Britney Bart, Business Development, at a large Midwest Clinically Integrated Network.
Key points:
- There is great opportunity to reduce costs by developing a focused DTE relationship. Starting a relationship doesn’t have to be a large, complicated arrangement.
- Through a strong DTE relationship, you can create value congruence. As the health care network reduces costs, you can be assured that cost is translated back to the employer and to the community.
- Structuring wellness programs play a big part in fostering relationships between the employee and the provider. Additionally, opportunities are created to meet the needs of employers and their employees.
