Milliman MedInsight webinar series: Direct Contracting
Fill out the form to the right to register for all three webinars. If you would like to only register for one webinar in the series, see the appropriate registration link below the specific webinar.
The contracting landscapes for payers, providers, purchasers, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have become less transparent and much harder to navigate. There are more options now than ever. Join us in this three-part webinar series as we examine and evaluate various types of Direct Contracting, including those that we think top the list and are most valuable. Learn about the expertise, services, and technology Milliman can provide in making successful Direct Contract a reality.
CMMI's Direct Contracting model: Participation primer
Thursday, March 25th at 11:00 AM PT/2:00 PM ET
Starting in CY2021, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) will be operating a new total cost of care model for Medicare FFS beneficiaries called Direct Contracting (DC). It is loosely modeled on CMMI’s Next Generation ACO model as well as the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS’s) Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). While this model widens the horizons of what types of organizations may participate in this program (including health insurers and provider groups, among others), it is essential that potential participants understand the risks and opportunities that this model presents.
Join ACO consulting experts from Milliman (currently working with 70+ ACOs) for a discussion of the general framework of the DC model, a history of the various ACO programs, and a discussion of how participants can leverage their current provider relationships, care management infrastructure, and Milliman resources in order to succeed in this new program. Milliman will also be sharing a demonstration of their Portfolio Contract Intelligence (PCI) solution which allows entities to holistically track and monitor their portfolio of risk-based contracts (including MSSP and DC) and help understand how each of those contracts contribute to an entities overall revenue stream.

Direct Primary Care: A unique healthcare solution for employers
Background, key benefit considerations, industry offerings, and analytic challenges
Thursday, April 1st at 11:00 AM PT/2:00 PM ET
The Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice model is relatively new and still evolving; there is no single definition of what constitutes a DPC practice. In 2020, the Society of Actuaries commissioned Milliman to develop a study characterizing the DPC model and evaluating certain claims made about its effectiveness. As the DPC model continues to grow, there are an increasing number of DPC point solutions available to employers self-funding their medical benefits.
Join Everside Health, Hamilton Health Box, and Milliman for a discussion on DPC. We will provide background on the DPC model, cover key considerations for employers considering a DPC offering, and learn about two specific DPC offerings in the marketplace.

Direct Contracting: Evaluating opportunities for employers and providers to achieve better healthcare outcomes
Thursday, April 8th at 11:00 AM PT/2:00 PM ET
For employers sponsoring health insurance benefits for their employees, maintaining competitive benefits packages is key to attracting and retaining top talent. And in the face of perpetual medical and prescription drug trends, employers are seeking out directing contracting strategies that would allow them to maintain competitive benefits, while also reducing costs and enhancing employee satisfaction.
For provider organizations pursuing the ‘Quadruple Aim’, establishing direct contracts with employers presents opportunities to leverage their population health investments across larger patient bases and receive compensation for efficiency and value. The current climate of price transparency further serves as a catalyst for inducing employer demand for direct contracts.
Join us to hear our consulting actuaries explore direct contracting strategies from both employers’ and provider organizations’ perspectives, including motivations and challenges associated with various strategies. Our product leadership will also explore opportunities to leverage MedInsight’s advanced analytics to facilitate successful outcomes.
