Dear Colleagues,

I am excited to share my article titled, “Cash-Pay Options for Self-Insured Employers” in October’s issue of the The Self Insurer. As the title suggests, in this article, we will discuss the different ways cash-pay options benefit employers and self-insurers such as streamlining the administrative process of healthcare payments, lowering cost of care for employers, enhancing greater transparency in healthcare and more. Please find this article in the Self-Insurer section of our website, where you can access my monthly articles written for the publication.

This issue brings you Christine Cooper, CEO, aequum LLC discussing the implications of the Medical Debt Cancellation Act, the need for stricter enforcement of price transparency laws and importance of advanced explanation of benefits (AEOB), and the benefits of having a medical billing partner to advocate for the patient and health plan. Cooper also emphasizes the role employers play in helping to alleviate the burden of medical debt from their employees through education on healthcare plans and innovative solutions such Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Reference-Based Pricing (RBP).

Please stay safe and tell me how you are breaking ground in these growing industries.
