Announcing the release of Morgan Health’s newest report, Quality and Outcomes Gaps in Employer-Sponsored Insurance. We analyze the latest publicly available data from the employer sector to give detail and perspective on how gaps in care – such as access and affordability – can have a disproportionate impact across populations.

“Average monthly premiums for families with employer-provided health coverage in California’s private sector nearly doubled over the last 15 years.“ These rising costs are often the reason for delayed or missed care, which can have a negative downstream impact on health outcomes. Scaling affordable, value-driven insurance products is increasingly important. https://spr.ly/60400ySNq

+ Empowering Small and Mid-Sized Businesses in Dallas + Morgan Health brought together a group of small and mid-sized Dallas business leaders, Centivo, ClearPoint Health and Public Private Strategies to discuss ways to tackle rising health care costs and explore strategies for navigating the complex health care landscape. Attendees shared experiences with their peers and learned new strategies for their business. There was interest in future programming and discussions, and one participant noted that this event was a significant added benefit to their JPMorganChase banking relationship. A key theme of the evening was the variety of health care funding options available to businesses—from captives and level-funding, to self-funding or being fully insured. Here is an overview of these different options, including their pros, cons, and considerations. Morgan Health's investment in Centivo, which offers a high-value health plan tailored for small and mid-sized businesses, is a part of our commitment to identifying innovative solutions that address the unique challenges faced by businesses in this market. This event is part of Morgan Health's ongoing effort to drive meaningful change in the health care space.

Are you thinking about offering health insurance to employees for the first time? There are different types of coverage and cost sharing options to consider when looking for the perfect fit for your business. See the link in the first comment for additional information.

Another study has found significant differences in out-of-pocket spending for maternity care across racial and ethnic groups. Our own analysis (linked in the first comment) found that these inequalities persist among people with employer-sponsored insurance. https://spr.ly/6048Lqv3g

Enjoyed joining Susan Dentzer, Bob Kocher and Amir Dan Rubin to discuss the ways that targeted investments can accelerate the shift towards more integrated, quality-driven care. Great chemistry here, probably because all of our respective missions are focused on driving better health care outcomes, and ultimately, a healthier population. Link below for some video, but 4 key takeways. 1) Yes, we still need more investment in primary care to ensure patients are accessing the care they need (and when they need it). The fact that some retail based primary care plays have not succeeded doesn't change this. 2) Data is key in ensuring enhanced performance and more informed decision-making. All of us have invested in data companies focused on different aspects of healthcare, and all of us plan to accelerate this in the coming years. 3) We need to get our arms around drug spend, particularly for specialty drug costs. Topics here discussed including better adherence to therapy, emerging biosimilars, integration with medical benefit, and CGT. 4) Managing cost trend, which has been increasingly dramatically in recent years. This is especially important for small- to medium-sized businesses, who are more severely burdened by health care costs and complexity. View the full panel discussion here: https://lnkd.in/gTEtq8JQ
