Dear John,
Increasingly, private and public health plans are incorporating equity-enhancing benefit design elements as part of a strategy to address health disparities.
Such strategies have the potential to improve health outcomes and use health care dollars more effectively and efficiently.
Hear from leading decision-makers and thought leaders on current efforts and how to build upon them at Health Benefit Design Innovations for Advancing Health Equity: Removing the Barriers to Successful Implementation ([link removed] ) , an American Academy of Actuaries symposium on Nov. 15.
A series of interactive sessions and thoughtful conversations will explore:
- Employer efforts to use plan design features to address health disparities and unmet health care needs
- Shifting the focus from costs to cost-effectiveness
- Getting the word out, including looking at ways to build trust and improve patient engagement
- Implementation challenges and how to overcome them
- How to achieve collaboration among various stakeholders in the health ecosystem.
Speakers will include experts across a range of perspectives, including employer and insurance executives, benefit consultants, medical directors, health equity officers, actuaries, and regulators.
Featured speakers include:
- Dr. Lisa Fitzpatrick, Founder and CEO of Grapevine Health
- Mila Kofman, Executive Director, DC Health Benefit Exchange
- Dr. LaShawn McIver, Chief Health Equity Officer, AHIP; Former Director, CMS Office of Minority Health
- Lina Rashid, Senior Policy Advisor, CMS Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight

In-person and virtual registration options are available for this free symposium that will be held on Nov. 15 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Breakfast and lunch will be served.
