Executive Insights | Oct 18, 10:00 AM ET | A New First Stop for Telehealth Benefits?

Overview

We're excited to have Dr. Eric Bricker, Chief Medical & Chief Growth Officer at First Stop Health join us in the studio for a discussion about health benefits trends and what's resonating with benefits directors and consumers as we head into year's end and 2022.  First Stop Health came up during our recent field work on Teladoc and Livongo due to its relatively high average utilization rates and willingness to put fees at risk, and we've been hearing about employers' growing demand for accountability from digital health and other vendors. 

Hedgeye Health Care Sector Head Tom Tobin will lead the discussion, which we expect to cover:

1. Adoption, engagement, and utilization rates for tele and behavioral health, as well as chronic care point and platform solutions in the enterprise market
2. Relationships with carriers - the pluses and minuses for digital health/chronic care vendors
3. Competitive dynamics - Teladoc (incl. Livongo and BetterHelp), Dr. on Demand/Grand Rounds,  
4. The evolution of value-based, primary care and virtual first programs
5. Quantifying fraud, waste, and abuse in the system, and whether legacy/traditional providers can or want to evolve
6. The "future state" and curing Stockholm syndrome 

Please send any questions for Eric and Tom to  and we'll work them into the discussion.
