VIRTUAL Semi-Annual Data Reveal

When the Central Penn Business Group on Health formed our partnership with Innovu in the fall of 2016, our goal was to become the healthcare data aggregator for our region. We wanted to be able to analyze healthcare claims data for our members across carriers and providers to identify market trends and areas for improvement both in the quality and cost of healthcare. We knew it was important to be able to track costs and their changes as employers continued to look for innovative ways to control their spend while still offering a robust healthcare benefit plan. We never contemplated a pandemic and the substantial impact it would have in a very short period of time.

Our data cohort has grown to over 100,000 lives from more than 100 different employers.
As part of our commitment to share insights, on July 30th 2020, CPBGH will host our fifth data reveal event. Come join us as we continue to explore what our data is telling us and gain insights into some valuable benchmarks around healthcare cost and quality in our region. We will share the following categories of valuable information with event attendees:

1. Key Cost Drivers During COVID Surges
In a pre-COVID world, we considered our medical and pharmaceutical benefits as being relatively constant and something we can budget with fairly high confidence. But COVID showed us that these cost and volume drivers acted in much more dramatic fashion than anyone could have anticipated. What can we learn from these phenomena as we anticipate additional surges?

2. SAMH In the Workplace
SAMH is the newest buzzword impacting a company’s operations, safety, productivity, absence, employee engagement, benefits risk, and many other important business drivers. Our employees, as well as spouses and dependents, suffer from many types of Substance Use & Abuse and Mental Health (SAMH) conditions. We will dive into the Central Penn’s data to provide a first-person view into the SAMH conditions affecting our region.

3. An Insider’s View to Pharmacy Cost Management
Two Pharmacy topics will be explored to further understand the convoluted layers of costs embedded within our PBM benefits. The first topic will compare PBM costs between a traditional PBM, a fiduciary PBM, and a pass-through PBM, while the second topic will present a unique approach for members to manage pharmaceutical expense without disrupting your current PBM contract. The outcome is a win-win for both the employer and employee.
