The arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic in Central Pennsylvania earlier this year has changed almost everything about how we live, work and play! Notably, one of the most significant changes is in the delivery of healthcare services. In-person care for routine services and non-emergent care have all but disappeared. And while Telehealth has become the new normal, data from the CPBGH data cohort shows us that many are just putting off care until things improve. Our new normal also includes substantial revenue losses for both our local health systems and physician practices due to reduced activity at the same time they are incurring additional expenses to keep patients safe when treatment is required. On the other hand, our carriers are on track for record gains caused by the reduced activity.

Unfortunately, it does not appear that the virus is leaving us any time soon and we need to focus on the development of plans to address rising costs and the need for quality care moving forward. Provider payment reform, innovative benefit and network designs, and price and quality transparency have all been evolving slowly in the right direction. But how will the COVID-19 pandemic impact this progress and what new opportunities does it create? How can employers and the stakeholders in healthcare delivery work together to create new models for success?

Attend the CPBGH 2 Day VIRTUAL Forecast Breakfast to gain a better understanding of:

• The power of employers to influence cost and quality

Innovative strategies to change the paradigm of healthcare delivery

Benchmarks in the region for plan design and cost compared to recent years and national data from the 2020 CPBGH Healthcare Benefits Survey

You’ll walk away with concrete strategies that will have a combined, significant effect in your purchasing strategy and ability to provide high-quality, cost-effective care!
