An examination of bundled payment: How insurers and providers are dispelling the myths

Sept. 2 at 1:30 pm ET

Join us for a webcast with François de Brantes on how health insurers and providers are making bundled payment work. As executive director of the nonprofit Health Care Incentives Improvement Institute, de Brantes has been working with health plans and providers to implement bundled payment programs since 2007. 

As we reported recently, bundled payment initiatives from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have been criticized for not taking full advantage of this innovative payment model. In the private sector, however, health insurers, hospitals, and physicians are demonstrating how to fully develop bundled payment programs and make the operational adjustments needed to ensure their long-term success.

In this webinar on Wednesday, Sept. 2, at 1:30 pm ET, de Brantes will discuss how providers and payers are getting good results from bundled payment programs and expanding many of these initiatives.
