The rising cost of healthcare pressures the entire economy and is prompting both government agencies and private plans to transition from being passive payors to becoming active purchasers of healthcare services, with a focus on quality, value, and the experience of care. Fee-for-service reimbursement remains widespread, but demand is growing for value-based care, where payment is tied to quality, cost, and outcomes. These changes present unique challenges to our clients, depending on their position in the marketplace and strategic goals.

core/paragraph

As health systems, healthcare plans, payors, investors, life sciences and technology companies, and other stakeholders come together in new ways with collaborative approaches to healthcare delivery and payment, our Strategic Healthcare team brings together multidimensional experience and a comprehensive approach to healthcare. We represent some of the largest players in the U.S. healthcare delivery and payor industries.

Our multidisciplinary team is ready to assist whether you are looking for solutions through the adoption of a strategic health plan or strategic healthcare delivery and investment.

core/heading

Employer Plans. We help employers looking to take a more active role in managing healthcare costs and outcomes while ensuring their employees and their families have access to better, more affordable healthcare. We provide advice regarding direct contracting, specialty carve-outs, nontraditional pricing structures, ERISA programs, pharmacy services, data privacy, corporate governance and transactions, and more.

core/list-item

Commercial Payors. We help payors with regulatory compliance (such as Medicare Advantage and Managed Medicaid programs) and provider contracting, including developing unique reimbursement mechanisms tied to quality metrics. We advise payors and providers on joint venture arrangements and on aligning incentives around evidence-based care and quality outcomes.

Intermediaries. We also advise companies providing services to employer plans, providers, and payors, bringing transformative data analytics and network design solutions to the entire healthcare ecosystem.
