1. Implementing Value-Based Health Care

Value-based health care (VBHC) is a model that shifts the focus from volume of care to value of care. It incentivizes providers to deliver high-quality, cost-effective services by linking payments to patient outcomes. By adopting VBHC, companies can reduce unnecessary procedures and improve health outcomes, leading to lower overall costs.

Self-insured health plans (SIPs) allow companies to assume the risk of their employees' health care costs. This can lead to significant savings compared to traditional insurance plans. However, SIPs also require more administrative work and carry a higher level of financial risk.
