The incidence of high-cost claims is rising, and for employers, a single catastrophic claim can be the difference between a good year and a budgetary disaster. In this meeting we’ll look at what’s driving these high-cost claims, how to analyze the risk of high-cost claims in your data, and what employers can do to address those risks before they become a problem.  

This session will be led by Dr. Christine Hale, MD, MBA, a nationally recognized expert in complex claims management. Dr. Hale will cut through the noise and focus on practical, data-driven tools you can put to work immediately.

The session will cover:

• Drivers of high-cost claims — from cancer and cardiovascular disease to specialty pharmacy and neonatal care

• Frameworks for analyzing your own claims data and identifying your plan's specific risk areas

• Concrete strategies across prevention, clinical management, site of care, and specialty pharmacy cost containment

• The opportunity to ask an expert anything about high-cost claims

Whether you're just beginning or looking to sharpen an existing strategy, this presentation will provide tangible learnings and actionable steps you can take for your organization.

Who should attend: HR directors, benefits managers, CFOs, and anyone responsible for managing employee health plan costs.
