Value Based Medical & Prescription Design
REGENCY BALLROOM 2
SELF FUNDING
Value based purchasing (VBP) is a means by which progressive employers can create an environment
to stimulate the continuous improvement of the quality, safety and efficiency (i.e. value) of care. They
can do this by joining with like-minded payers and providers to follow the six principles and practices of
value based purchasing first published 25 years ago. In cooperation with payers and their employees,
employers need to augment these VBP practices with Value Based Insurance Design. By rewarding the
health conscious and more cost effective clinical decision making of their employees, dependents and
retirees (whose health care costs they subsidize), employers may use VBID to enhance their VBP programs
and their results, and vice versa.
Keynote Objectives:
• Understand why the ultimate goal of value-based purchasing (VBP) is to improve continuously the
quality, safety and efficiency of healthcare services delivered to specific populations.
• Discuss how VBP differs from Value Based Insurance Design (VBID).
• Examine a new way of employer leadership engagement and strategic thinking in the C-Suite so that
employers can continue to champion and sustain VBP and VBID
• Identify innovative strategies for employers in their enlightened self interest to be leaders in VBP and
VBID.

How Employers Evaluate, Select, Enroll & Administer
Voluntary Benefits
DIPLOMAT BALLROOM 1 VOLUNTARY BENEFITS
The process of selecting a voluntary benefit varies from organization to organization and size of the
organization. Internal benefits needs assessment is usually carried out by HR after taking into account
the needs of employees and desired change the HR like to accomplish. Once the needs assessment is
done, there will be a process that includes an RFI or straight to an RFP (with plan design details). The
procurement process also varies. The public sector procurement process is quite different from the private
sector. After the due selection process, the benefit carrier will have detailed implementation meeting
with HR to go through a project implementation plan that includes—communication, enrollment, payroll
interface, reconciliation, premium payments etc. The evaluation is a continuous process to see that the
benefits offered are in line with the HR goals as well business strategy.
