Description
Value-based care isn’t one thing; it’s a spectrum of strategies with different implications for cost, quality, and member experience. This session brings together advanced primary care, centers of excellence, and specialty care to show how these models work, where they deliver real ROI, and what it takes to build a strategy that holds up financially and clinically over time. Panelists will explore transparency, aligned incentives, and the practical steps employers can take to demand more from their partners.
