In part two of our three part series on the mounting primary care crisis, we will continue our discussion from August on the impact on employers. Our panel of experts will provide insights into how carriers are addressing the shortage, as well as what they believe employers can do to help combat this crisis. 

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • A carriers perspective on why we are facing such a crisis 
  • What strategies have been put in place to help reverse these trends
  • What has worked effectively and where are efforts falling short
  • How employers, the payors of healthcare, may be able to influence these trends

This is a must-listen for HR leaders, benefits professionals, and executives seeking sustainable healthcare strategies that work for both their people and their bottom line.
