Purchasing Power Under Pressure: Employers' and Unions' Perspectives on Rising Health Care Prices and the Role of Middlemen

Health Affairs

As health care prices have continued to rise, employers and unions have looked for assistance to manage provider prices. Many third-party organizations have provided services to manage these increasing costs, including third-party administrators, benefits consultants, point solution vendors, repricers, and reinsurers 

Join Health Affairs on November 20 for a virtual event with a panel of experts exploring insights and perspectives on rising prices, the ecosystem of third-party vendors, proposed legislation to improve transparency of these vendors, and efforts to develop model contract language for purchasers. 

The event will draw upon articles in the Health Affairs Forefront series, “Provider Prices in the Commercial Sector,” supported by Arnold Ventures. 

Confirmed speakers include: 

• Patrick Pine, Robert F. Kennedy Medical Plan, Juan De La Cruz Pension Plan (retired)
• Andrea Caballero, Catalyst for Payment Reform
• Katie Gudiksen, UC Law in San Francisco 

Health Affairs Senior Editor Laura Tollen will moderate.
