Frontline Perspectives from Physicians & Benefits Leaders
Building on our Part 2 session where carriers discussed what’s working, what’s falling short, and how employers can influence the trend, we’re now turning to the people closest to care delivery and benefit design. In Part 3, practicing physicians and respected benefits leaders will share practical, employer-ready strategies to stabilize access, improve outcomes, and control costs.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why primary care is under pressure from administrative burdens and poor reimbursement to fragmented relationships and what it means for access and outcomes.
- How innovative models like direct primary care and team-based care are changing the game for both physicians and employers.
- What employers and benefits advisors can do to drive real change: from investing in primary care and reducing red tape, to building trusted partnerships with providers.
- The power of relationships in primary care and how continuity, trust, and a whole-person approach can lower costs and improve workforce health.
If you’re tired of quick fixes and want to hear what really works in primary care—from the voices on the front lines, this conversation is for you.
