Has 2020 given you webinar fatigue? The seemingly endless run of virtual events and webinars would certainly justify it. And while moving everything to the digital world has its challenges, society is embracing technology and making the most of the situation. Healthcare is no exception. With the expanded use of technology, healthcare has been reminded of the importance of being able to communicate with each other quickly, efficiently, and easily.
In our October Webinar Series event, The Care We All Strive For: The Impact of Interoperability, we will help fight that webinar fatigue by taking a break from the traditional webinar structure and take time to revisit our shared purpose – to make healthcare run better for everyone.
Please join us on Wednesday, October 28th at 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ET to hear the story of what it feels like to be a patient, provider, pharmacist, and payer in a world where interoperability is a reality.
Our sponsor Surescripts will be joined by four healthcare stakeholders who will share their take on the difference interoperability makes on the experience of a patient, provider, pharmacist, and payer. The panelists will examine how sharing information across stakeholders can reduce administrative burden and improve member experience.*:
| Carlos Garcia | Dr. Natalie Pinter | Keisha Wright, RPh | Oscar Gustafsson |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis & Hypertension | Provider | Pharmacist, Specialty Pharmacy | Vice President of Pharmacy, Payer |
Over the next four weeks leading up to the live webinar on October 28th, we’ll be sharing more information on how patients, providers, pharmacists, and payers all benefit from enhanced interoperability of data and systems. In the meantime, learn more about how Surescripts addresses healthcare interoperability challenges here.
* These are imaginary personas whose role in this webinar will be performed by employees of our sponsor Surescripts.

Webinar: Towards Next-Generation Care: The Digital Musculoskeletal (MSK) Clinic
Thursday, September 17, 2020 11:00 AM PT
Currently, health plan members with back and joint pain experience a fragmented approach to care. Whether it’s an acute injury, chronic pain, or surgery, members must contend with multiple providers and handoffs between those involved with providing a ‘whole-person approach’ to care. From the members’ perspective, it feels like no one is looking at their health holistically or acting as their healthcare champion.
Join us and other healthcare leaders for our September Webinar Series Event: Towards Next-Generation Care: The Digital Musculoskeletal (MSK) Clinic on Thursday, September 17, 2020 at 11:00 am PT / 2:00 pm ET.
In this webinar, Hinge Health’s CEO Dan Perez will discuss how a digital musculoskeletal clinic covering the full continuum of care from prevention to post-surgery can provide a one-stop shop for members and health plans.

Breaking Through the Barriers to Better Consumer Experience
Thursday, May 21st, 2020 11:00am PT / 2:00pm ET
During these times of uncertainty, anxiety and fear, it is important for payers to build and maintain trusting relationships with their members. Now, more than ever, health plan members are faced with the challenge of deciphering benefits and coverage and determining how to engage with medical professionals when they are practicing social distancing. Further, many health plans have shifted to work from home presenting a unique challenge for health plans as well.
It is imperative that during this time, health plans are able to deliver the appropriate messages to the right members on the best channel. Messages and communications to members need to be relevant and delivered quickly so that members may stay informed and take the appropriate actions. As customers become more engaged in their healthcare, innovative payers have an opportunity to differentiate their brands and build trust by delivering experiences that exceed expectations.
How can health plans continue to support their members and provide a superior member experience during this time?
This webinar will present a Consumer Experience (CX) framework for health plans to prioritize and manage consumer messages and goals and maximize ROI. By leveraging consumer experience technology, health plans can streamline member outreach and prioritize cross-departmental goals into a single dashboard resulting in relevant and personalized engagement with members and improved operational efficiency for health plans.
This webinar series event is limited to health plans, payers, and risk-bearing healthcare organizations.

ICHRA Puts the Consumer First
Thursday, March 5th, 2020 11:00am PT / 2:00pm ET
Although they aren’t new or flashy, health benefits are one of the best ways for all types of businesses to invest in their employees. Employees prize health benefits above other workplace benefits and are likely to leave or turn down a job that doesn’t provide them.
What if instead of purchasing a specific plan from an insurer, employers established a defined contribution health plan via an account-based program for each employee? Each employee would use funds from their account to purchase an individual policy of their own choice from the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. ACA policies have no pre-existing conditions and provide all essential health benefits, mitigating risk of discrimination.
On Thursday, March 5th at 2pm EST, join HCEG and our long-time sponsor Softheon to learn about the new Individual Coverage HRA (ICHRA) and how ICHRA’s come with a series of benefits:
First, employees would be given free range to choose the health plan best suited for their health needs and financial constraints. The control gained by the employee also means less administrative burdens for the employer—no more hassling with picking networks, deductibles and copayments or calculating premium rate increases.
Second, for Health Plans the new ICHRA’s also help reduce insurance churn. Employees would be free to leave a job without the fear of giving up health insurance since the coverage would travel with them. Less churn leads to more consistent revenues and improved health outcomes.
Third, as more people leave the employee market for the ACA market, it could better the health of the ACA ecosystem overall. The risk pool could improve, and premiums could decrease.
ICHRAs have the potential to transform the health insurance industry by making it more consumer driven as many other industries have become, driving innovation and satisfaction.
In this HCEG Webinar Series Event, you’ll learn about the Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA):
• Why ICHRA’s are important
• ICHRA Benefits
• ICHRA Challenges and Barriers
• Aspects of an ideal ICHRA solution
• Next Steps to Implementing an ICHRA
