Recent years have seen dramatic changes in the legislative landscape around price transparency — but despite a lot of noise, the results have been mixed. From federal hospital transparency rules to recent executive orders issued by the White House and an increased focus on prescription drug prices, transparency has become a buzzword that dominates both headlines and industry conversations. But has anything really changed? Does transparency drive down costs? Is progress being made when it comes to enforcement of new laws and rules? And what does all of this mean to benefits advisors and the employers they work with as they look for strategies to lower health care costs while finding the highest quality of care?
In this webcast, BenefitsPRO Editor-in-Chief, Paul Wilson, will be joined by a panel of industry experts to explore the good, bad and controversial aspects of price transparency and provide practical advice and key strategies for benefits professionals who are looking to turn compliance and transparency into a competitive advantage.
Join us and you will:
- Hear the latest developments around legislations and regulation impacting health care transparency
- Better understand how leading with transparency and a consultative approach sets benefits advisors and business leaders apart
- Look ahead to 2026 and beyond — how can you plan ahead for the future of transparency?
