Understanding Shifting Insurance Coverage Impacts

Summary

Join Avalere’s panel of market access and policy experts to learn about the shifting insurance coverage landscape and how these trends impact manufacturers, payers, policymakers, and providers.

Access Recording

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic downturn, millions of Americans have lost employer-sponsored insurance and have either enrolled in publicly subsidized coverage or become uninsured. Healthcare stakeholders will need to adapt to these changes and consider site-of-care policies and reimbursement, evolution of benefit structure, patient and provider access and support programs, and cost-sharing implications.

Key Topics

Coverage shift causes and trends
Care delivery impacts (physicians and health plan coverage of services)
New variables for consumer plan choices
Payer responses and policy change
Patient access and support
Ancillary support strategies
Potential congressional action affecting coverage
