Do you know how much your company spends on surgeries? For self-insured employers, surgeries generally account for the lions' share of healthcare costs, or as much as half of total medical spend. Add the fact that millions of procedures put on hold during the COVID pandemic are starting to resume, and it's clear that now is the time to confront surgical spend before the backlog derails your budget. Offering a surgical Centers of Excellence (COE) benefit is a great start to lowering costs. However, not all COE programs are created equal. 

Join us to learn how to evaluate your COE benefit, whether offered through your health plan or another provider, to ensure it's delivering maximum savings and more. In addition, US Foods will share how pivoting their approach to partner with a value-based COE solution enabled them to eliminate unnecessary surgeries and cut procedure costs. 

As an attendee, you will learn how to: 

• Plan for the impending surgery backlog.
• Understand the impact of unnecessary surgeries on your bottom line and your employees.
• Explain how a value-based COE solution can lower incoming costs, minimize unnecessary procedures and improve predictability.
• Identify seven things to look for in a COE program. 

Who Should Attend: HR and benefit leaders with self-insured health plans and brokers and consultants who work with self-insured companies.
