Join us as our Panel of industry experts explore how employers can move beyond passive reporting and begin actively managing one of their most valuable plan assets: The plan's health claims data. Drawing on expertise in compliance, claims auditing, pharmacy benefit management, care navigation, and data analytics, our expert Panelists will discuss what employers need to know about data ownership, access rights, transparency challenges, and the practical steps needed to turn information into action. Key takeaways from our discussion include:

  • Why claims data should be viewed and managed as a critical plan asset
  • The fiduciary responsibilities employers have regarding plan data oversight
  • Common barriers that prevent employers from obtaining meaningful, claim-level information
  • Why having access to data isn't the same as having usable data
  • The role of independent validation, audits, and data review in strengthening plan governance
  • Practical strategies for moving from reactive, vendor-driven reporting to proactive plan management
