Executive Insights: Advanced Primary Care | 8/5 10 AM ET | The Train Left the Station, What's Next?

Overview

We’re excited to have Ryan Schmid & Jeffrey Hogan join us live for another discussion and Q&A moderated by Hedgeye Health Care sector head Tom Tobin. Ryan is the Co-founder, President & CEO of Vera Whole Health, which recently received a substantial capital investment from Clayton, Dubilier & Rice to help expand its next-generation, value-based advanced primary care (APC) model. and Jeff is the Northeast Regional Manager for Rogers Benefit Group and Founder of Upside Health Advisors, which advises clients, including states/municipalities, corporates, and providers on all things value-based care. 

CLICK HERE for the Call Replay & Notes from the last time we hosted Jeff and Ryan (Dec 2020), when the speakers described the tsunami of interest and capital being directed at primary care, and Ryan explained why "the train has left the station..." (i.e., why this time is different for value-based care).

Discussion Topics:

1. How new clinics fill up and the difference between on-site and off-site direct contracts with employers - who is losing patients?
2. The importance of convenience and service to patients who come into an APC model - #consumerism in health care.
3. How much is typically saved in medical cost PMPM, in ER visits, etc, by managing care in an APC/value-based model vs. the incremental spend on non-medical services?
4. How important is documenting chronic illness, and is the new CMMI direct contracting model a paradigm for provider groups moving toward risk?
5. Can tech-enabled primary care disrupt traditional health systems and move to value-based care? How is effective longitudinal steerage created?
6. Will legacy primary care providers be able to evolve with the help of digital chronic care solutions providers, or are they stuck?
7. Can employer clinics disrupt BUCA payer/employer relationships by controlling more care?
8. Competitive dynamics and the importance of scale - how much room is there for multiple players to grow and win?
