Collaboration

Our goal is to leverage the collective membership of your group to better manage healthcare costs. Collaborative opportunities include smart contracting with pharmacy benefit managers (PBM’s), direct contracting with Health & Wellness Centers, and development of high-performance healthcare networks.

Berkshire Hathaway’s Buffett, Amazon’s Bezos and J.P. Morgan’s Dimon announced a venture designed to cut health costs and improve services for their U.S. employees. The three hope their companies sheer sizes will help bring the necessary scale and resources to tackle the health-care system’s most pertinent issues.

“Billionaire investor Warren Buffett told CNBC his joint venture with Jeff Bezos and Jamie Dimon is going for something bigger than shaving a few percentage points off health-care costs.”

What does this mean for you?

  • Public sector already collaborate with one another (shared services; consolidation of services)
  • Public sector today DOES NOT collaborate when pursuing healthcare plan solutions
  • Municipalities can lower costs and provide better options for employees if they approached the insurance market collectively (i.e. 1000 or 10000 plus employees and retirees)
  • Additional cost-containment programs and plan options would be available
  • Public sector could partner with private companies in their region
