Topic details:
“Costs, Responsibilities of Employers and the Promise of New Discoveries” with Alex Jung
The pipeline of new discoveries is robust and costs are likely to go up at the same time more diseases will be better managed or cured. Employers need a new conversation around the role they want to play in prevention and managing conditions with the advent of new therapies. They have a duty to employees to be better informed because the therapies will be much more complex than the chronic maintenance generic drugs they are used to on formulary.
Their partners, like PBMs, won’t solve the cost issue for them without greater emphasis on how medical premiums are meant to be used. Drugs can prevent more costly inpatient hospitalizations, surgeries and procedures but the dialogue around unit pricing will be irrelevant when customized biologics can cure or stave off major complications of a disease.
The presentation focuses on costs, responsibilities of stakeholders (especially employers) and the promise of new discoveries.
“Finding the Value of Care and Improved Health” with Chris McSwain
Healthcare reform been at the forefront of public debate as the new Administration took office in January, but thus far, these discussions have focused almost exclusively on healthcare coverage and financing. Neither better care nor better health have been a major focal point of these deliberations. Yet, to employers, the value of care and improved health are paramount in the employer’s role in healthcare going forward. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the discussion of specialty pharmaceuticals. Chris McSwain, IBI’s new President, will discuss this fundamental issue in the context of several IBI research studies (including The High Cost of Low Prevalence Disease and Finding the Value in Health – IBI’s research with Chief Financial Officers). Chris also will bring to this presentation his perspective and insights from a decade in managing employer benefits programs, including at Walmart, Whirlpool and Scana.
