It’s The Patient’s Call: Reducing Surgical Demand

Webinar Description

It’s no secret that surgery utilization and cost trends are a significant concern across the healthcare industry today. However, traditional utilization management strategies used by health plans and plan sponsors are not proving to be successful in bending the trend on surgery incidence, and can be disruptive to the patient/provider relationship.

This webinar provides an important look at how payer organizations can better address current challenges with lowering surgical spend. Topics discussed include:

• Common drivers of surgery overuse and barriers to cost containment
• The limitations of traditional utilization management methods
• How to leverage demand-side, patient-focused strategies to reduce surgery frequency, complications, and costs
• Real-world examples of successful patient-centered approaches
