MN Health care roundtable sponsorship
About
The Minnesota Health Care Roundtable is a semi-annual conference that examines topics affecting the evolution of health care policy.

UPCOMING ROUNDTABLE
Health Care Reimbursement Transparency
Inside the black box
Publishing in the May 2024 edition
Background and objectives:
In efforts to solve the many problems with health care costs, great public emphasis is placed on empowering the consumer. If only the costs of care were transparent, then consumers could make informed choices, foster competition, improve quality and bring costs down. There are many reasons why creating a menu for health care services is not meaningfully possible but, perhaps the most important one is never really discussed. It is the black box of third-party payer reimbursement. If you don’t know what or when you are getting paid how can you post pricing?
Our expert panel will examine the many reasons that third-party payer reimbursement for medical care services is far from transparent and how its shifting-sand opacity affects cost. We will consider both state and federal legislative remedies that address Medicare and Medicaid policies as well as private insurance companies. Hospitals, health systems and independent practices all have similar problems with third-party payer reimbursement. Many times they are paid less than the costs of delivering care. We will look at how they are played against each other and how they might effect positive change with a more unified approach to a common goal.
