As I promised last month, I'm sharing some additional perspectives from employer and healthcare delivery leaders we're talking to about direct-to-employer healthcare arrangements. TL;DR: Direct-to-employer healthcare arrangements can work in both fee-for-service and value-based care markets. One key to success is in building alignment on employers’ desired outcomes from benefit offerings by supporting, augmenting, and enabling the capabilities of healthcare provider partners. #vbc #valuebasedcare #directtoemployer IntoValue

Great news to share.... Brian Marcotte has joined our Board of Directors. We are so grateful to have him on our team! Brian brings a wealth of executive leadership experience to IntoValue, having served as President and CEO of the Business Group on Health (BGH), a prominent advocacy group representing large, self-insured employers. During his tenure at BGH, Brian spearheaded initiatives such as the Health Innovations Forum and the Executive Committee on Value Purchasing, dedicated to scaling value-based care initiatives. Prior to his role at BGH, Brian held the position of Vice President of Compensation and Benefits at Honeywell International, where his innovative approach to employee healthcare garnered widespread recognition. Brian has stated, "We cannot change health care if we do not change how it’s financed and paid for. Health care is local and preparing health systems and providers to transition away from fee-for-service to provide employers with accountable, value-based delivery alternatives is crucial to creating improved outcomes for employees.?The success of such partnerships is evident, and the time is ripe to scale more community-based, direct-to-employer collaborations."
