In the United States, most employers choose to pay for at least some of their workers’ health services directly from their own funds. Lately, concerns over affordability have led them to take an increasingly active role in their healthcare strategies. In this episode, Jen is joined by Vynamic Director Kirsten Meisterling and Executive & Head of Health Plans, Saurabh Raman, to discuss why health plans should be thinking about self-funded employers now (02:23), what this market segment needs (07:18), and how health plans can communicate their value potential effectively (15:23).
