Side Affects Episode #97: Direct Contracts: Modern Flair For Cost-Effective Health Care
In This Episode
Even though Direct Contracting has been around for decades, employers are finding creative ways to tailor their employees’ health care needs. On this episode of Side Affects, we have invited our partner at M3 Insurance, Vice-President of Employee Benefits Sales, Ryan Barbieri, to present how Direct Contracting has adapted beyond the single provider relationship for employers.
Kenzie McEvily and guest host Anne Marie Singleton ask Ryan to dig deeper into Direct Contracting and share how those employers willing to tackle the non-traditional methods of health care could reap benefits beyond the ROI. Find out if you have what it takes as an employer to put direct contracting into motion for a long-term solution.
