The organizations that pay for care and those that provide it are all looking to move beyond transactional relationships. Finding common priorities is part of successful collaboration. Provider collaboration is already happening behind the scenes on prior authorizations and new models of care. But there’s an immense untapped opportunity to take it further to positively impact member experiences and support health plan growth. At the core of the member experience is the ability to find the right care, at the right time. It takes health insurance providers and care providers working together to create accurate and meaningful experiences that help consumers navigate. Payer-provider collaboration is critical to improving health outcomes, cost of care, and the overall patient experience. New legislation is arming members with access to information on cost, which means they have more tools at their disposal to be proactive in selecting care. This has also created an opportunity for health insurance providers to ensure that doing so is a good experience. We’ve brought together two care providers to help share their perspectives on collaboration, the importance (and burden) of accurate data in directories, and how it all works together to deliver a better member experience.

Obstacles remain that can limit a health insurance provider’s ability to run an accurate, effective, risk score accuracy program. Evolving risk adjustment models and regulations have made it even more important for health plans to resolve challenges like lack of transparency into member data and risk scores, inefficient and disjointed processes, inadequate expertise, or program customization capabilities:

• Lack of transparency into risk scores
• Inefficient and disjointed processes
• Missing risk score goals/forecast

In this webinar, industry experts will discuss best practices for managing health plan risk adjustment processes amid the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) RADV Final Rule and 2024 Final Call Letter for Medicare Advantage plans. Attendees will learn how converging health plan quality, risk, and other healthcare programs can ensure greater data accuracy, drive major improvements in efficiency, and support better member satisfaction and experience.

Too often, the process to receive approval for Social Security Disability Income (SSDI) benefits can be complicated and cumbersome. With the right approach, health insurance providers can achieve the twin goals of minimizing the cost burden of disabled members and increasing member satisfaction.

This educational webinar from Cognizant will dive into the factors needed on the route to enrollment. Presenters will explain the five-step process patients must complete to enroll to receive SSDI benefits, plus define in detail how an algorithm-driven outreach model can be used to educate, empower and assist eligible members.

Health insurance providers are in the midst of a generational identity shift—moving away from their traditional role as “risk aggregators” and pursuing diversification of their service offerings and revenue streams. These strategic moves will reinvent the way they are perceived by their members, their purchasers, and their competitors. But these strategic moves are also increasingly imperative for survival: In a world of shrinking margins, new and more powerful competitors, and increased expectations from consumers, health insurance providers are increasingly motivated to become health solutions companies that embody and own more parts of the care experience. Join us as we explore the trends in diversification and vertical integration driving the development of health solutions companies with more detailed advice on how health insurance providers can think about diversification at scale and best bets for organizations of all sizes. We will explore the feasibility and goals of different avenues of diversification while envisioning what the health plan landscape may look like in the next 5-10 years.

Many health systems in Africa are generally characterized by high burden of out-of-pocket payment by patients at the point of care and increased exposure of clients to catastrophic health payments. However, there are recent moves by many African countries to improve their health financing systems and institute health insurance in a bid to ensure universal health coverage. The webinar will focus on sharing experiences of implementing health insurance in the contexts of African countries. As such, the main learning objectives of the webinar are to share best practices from countries, which are at different stages of implementing health insurance and identify mitigating strategies for the challenges that may be faced in the process of implementing health insurance. Daniel Erku will moderate the webinar and share his comparative assessment of HTA and health insurance from the Australian and Ethiopian context and what Africa countries can learn. Eskinder Eshetu Ali will present on the status of health insurance implementation in Ethiopia. He will be sharing success stories of a community-based health insurance (CBHI) system roll out for individuals and families in the rural agricultural and the urban informal sectors in Ethiopia. He will also discuss the challenges of rolling out social health insurance (SHI) for workers in the formal sector of the Country. Tienie Stander will present on the history and current system of health insurance in South Africa. His presentation will point out what the rest of the continent can learn from the health financing system in South Africa and what countries could do differently based on the challenges of the system. Peter Agyei-Baffour will share the experiences from a relatively new nationwide health insurance system in Ghana and will outline the lessons learnt in the implementation process and what other African countries can learn from this experience.
