Better Value Health
Episode 7: Jeff Hogan of Upside Health Advisors
In this episode, Jeff Hogan, a respected leader and veteran in the health benefits space, talks about his "Why"- why it is life's mission to improve health care quality and affordability. It is personal for him now at this stage of his career.
Learn about his life and career trajectory from New Jersey to Cape Cod, to Mass and finally Connecticut and his work advising small employers and Fortune 500 companies.
Jeff and I talk about how 'value' is defined in healthcare. Jeff is an expert on the role of C-suite as a fiduciary when it comes to health benefits and how the CAA will accelerate this role with a greater emphasis on transparency. We discuss the big challenges posed by rising healthcare costs and the big opportunities that lie ahead of us.
United States is going to spend over 6.8 Trillion dollars a year on healthcare by 2030. Almost 90% of employers think the cost of providing health benefits would be unsustainable in the next five to 10 years. Meanwhile, Americans have the highest maternal and infant mortality, the lowest life expectancy at birth, and the highest death rates for avoidable or treatable conditions among high-income countries.
At Pequot Health Care, we work with innovative brokers, consultants, and employers who have had enough. Our mission at Pequot Health Care is to help people get Better Value Health.
Through our independent Third Party Administration service along with our independent and truly transparent clinical pharmacy service, we help you bring down the giant costs- of diseases and of drugs.
