As with years past, cost containment was a highlight of the conference as the third party administrator (TPA) featured case study examples – and a more in-depth account – of how its employer-clients are saving money through customizable plan programs. A stop loss panel of experts was also back by popular demand, giving the audience a chance to ask questions about coverage, contracts and more.

  • Sound bites vs. substance in health plans – Ron Peck, The Phia Group
  • Lowering diagnostic imaging costs – Ray Tamborini, One Call Health Solutions
  • Getting control over health plan data – Jana Fuelberth, Analytic.Li
  • The true benefit of care and disease management – Michael Burcham, Narus Health
