WHAT

The NBGH Business Health Agenda 2012 panel on “Transparency and Reference-Based Pricing: Changing the Decision-Making Experience” will discuss how employers, health plans and vendors can work together to create a platform that allows employees to make decisions based on critical quality, convenience and cost information.

 

Ghertner and Anderson will highlight a real-world case study of how cost transparency is effectively implemented in an organization, focusing on employee engagement, ease of integration and resulting ROI – notably, how First Horizon increased its enrollment of its high deductible plan by more than 150 percent. The presentation will also include a demonstration of Transparency Messenger TM, the only tool that proactively engages plan members through the customized delivery of personalized savings opportunities for prescriptions and medical and dental services.
