Dear Colleagues,

Medical Travel Today is excited to introduce you to Rick Louie, Principal, Hospital Pricing Specialists, LLC, a boutique data analytics company that benchmarks hospital prices for hospital CFOs and strategic pricing consultants

In this exclusive interview, Louie explains how Hospital Pricing Specialists makes concepts like transparent and bundled pricing more consumer friendly through its award-winning consumer-driven hospital price lists that meet CMS price transparency requirements

This issue brings you news on why Americans are paying 67 times more for drug prices than those in other counties, the annual family premiums for employer plans that are topping 20K, the rise of vaping-related deaths in the U.S. and Trump’s proclamation to deny visas to immigrants who can’t pay for heathcare.

We’re also excited to announce the upcoming HLTH 2019 is taking place on October 27-30 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas!

HLTH 2019 gathers senior leaders from across the entire healthcare ecosystem – payers, providers, employers, investors, startups, pharma, and policymakers – while also casting a spotlight on patient experience and highlighting innovative centers.

Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity to meet with these innovators, community leaders, disruptors and change-makers, and learn how they are impacting the health industry.

Please be in touch and let me know how you are breaking new ground in this growing marketplace.
