Surpassing Mere Compliance Takeaways

During this session, participants will learn:

  • The No Surprises Act doesn’t eliminate all “surprises”
  • The No Surprises Act is likely to be inflationary
  • Mere compliance won’t reign in costs, will increase administration, and may increase litigation risk
  • Using Reference Based Pricing as one example of strategic actions you can take to:
    • Avoid what can be avoided
    • Use tax preferences to finance what can’t/shouldn’t be avoided
    • Communicate all negatives as the result of compliance
    • Inform/educate consumers (before they become patients)

Hidden Opportunities, A Strategic Compliance Series

Hidden Opportunities, Strategic Compliance Series

Please join us on the third Thursday of the month over the next five months for our upcoming strategic compliance series. This series will focus on harnessing Hidden Opportunities in the No Surprises Act and Transparency in Coverage regulations.

In this webinar series we explore ways organizations can go beyond basic compliance and improve their “organizational soil” through a strategic response to the No Surprises Act and the Transparency in Coverage regulations. Our goal is to help organizations create a competitive advantage. Does it make sense to expend limited resources to merely comply with the law and regulations, or is there a way to strategically “design the compliance away” while strategically differentiating the employee value proposition?

For example, a knowledgeable horticulturist may use the high temperatures of the summer season, which are a normal part of the environment just as law and regulation are a normal part of the business environment, to solarize the soil. This is a low cost and simple process of spreading a plastic sheet over an area of soil to trap and intensify the sun’s energy. It is a process that works well to destroy weed seeds and pathogens. Similarly, a knowledgeable Humaculturist® can employ techniques to leverage laws and regulations to strategically improve the organization. This webinar series seeks to identify some of these techniques.
