Episode 10: Empowering Employers to Improve Patient Access

Prescription for Better Access · 42 min

Episode Description

Employers are discovering this fall that they are expected to shoulder a 6% health insurance increase for 2024. What can employers do to combat the accelerating cost of health insurance without jeopardizing access to vital drugs? In this podcast episode, we talk with Matt Ohrt, a former HR executive who achieved a 20% reduction in health insurance costs for his employer. Matt has a new book and new company to help other self-funded employers strategically lower their sponsored health insurance costs for 2024 while ensuring employees have optimal access to care and treatments. This is an essential listen for employers seeking to balance cost-efficiency with the provision of comprehensive, high-quality healthcare benefits to their employees.
