This Virtual Summit will help employers, health care purchasers, and other stakeholders learn about how high deductible health plans (HDHPs) and other benefit design strategies might evolve and further encourage consumers to seek the “right” health care services. How will we produce the right balance of incentives to encourage consumers to get the care they need, but avoid potentially harmful or wasteful care?  Listen in as our panel of experts reviews trends, discusses implementation and results of benefit offerings, and engages in a dialogue focused on the consumer and payer experience with HDHPs and consumer incentives in benefit design.

This event was originally recorded on October 12, 2017.
