Webinar: CIOs Bringing Innovation and Transformation to the Forefront

Register here.

No matter how much planning went into 2020, no one could have expected the turn of events this year and its ongoing impact on the health care industry. With today’s current challenging landscape, technology executives at health plans are grappling with what it means for their organizations both now and in the future. Chief Information Officers (CIOs) have a critical role in defining the future and ensuring their health plan can effectively compete.

HealthEdge, in partnership with independent market research firm Survata, recently completed a study of 245 CIOs and technology executives at health plans across the country. The survey uncovered that 98% of health insurance organizations plan to evaluate their core administrative processing system in the next two years. The survey also revealed strategic business imperatives CIOs are focused on, challenges facing IT leadership today, and their top priorities heading into 2021.

In this webinar, our CIO roundtable will explore the current and future state of payers’ technology, strategic initiatives, and what they prioritize when making critical decisions. The panelists will provide their analysis of the survey results and discuss how it compares to other industry trends and research and offer insight into what it means for health plan technology priorities in 2021.

Attendees will learn:

  • Learn about the current and future state of payers’ technology, as well as challenges IT leadership faces today
  • What CIOs look for when evaluating technology solutions and the factors that influence purchasing decisions
  • What do these changes mean for 2021 planning and strategy?

Webinar: Impacts of Sustained Unemployment for Health Plans

Register here.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused massive unemployment in the U.S.; as a result, the Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that nearly 50 million American workers and their dependents will lose health insurance. With no federal exchange special enrollment period, state budgets strained from the economic crisis, and many people having difficulty obtaining their unemployment benefits, the implications of sustained unemployment on health plans has yet to be fully realized. In many cases, we still do not know where unemployed/uninsured people are going; it could be Medicaid, Medicare, or individual markets.

Certain aspects of health care that were gaining traction have accelerated during the pandemic, including telehealth, behavioral health services, investments in community health, price transparency, and data sharing. The pandemic has demonstrated how the private and public sectors can mobilize quickly and work together to spur innovation, close gaps in care, and drive better health outcomes.

However, it is clear there’s still work to be done. Unemployment rates among Blacks and Hispanics are generally much greater than national averages and among Whites, and COVID-19 infection rates are also much higher. As millions have lost their jobs, jeopardizing their employer-provided health insurance, COVID-19 has highlighted the need for improved access to care and prevention. Health plans must look at the social determinants of health and the disparities among their membership population and create benefit designs to make healthcare more accessible.

Health plans are analyzing these trends will continue to pay close attention as they embark on their open enrollment period in the fall.

This webinar will explore how payers are bracing for the impacts of sustained unemployment, addressing shifting consumer needs, and key changes that have impacted their strategy and planning for next year. Our subject-matter experts will discuss the current landscape, data trends, and projections on what will happen with unemployment and provide insight into its ripple effect on the health care industry and health plans.

Attendees will learn:

  • How unemployment has impacted health plans so far, and what trends have been uncovered related to patient needs, community health, and partnerships
  • Where the opportunities are for health plans
  • What these changes mean for 2021 planning and strategy
