Direct Contracting in Action: Inside an Employer’s Advanced Primary Care Strategy

As employers face continued healthcare cost pressures, many are looking beyond traditional health plans and vendor arrangements for strategies that can improve access, strengthen prevention, and create greater control over healthcare spending.

Join Northeast Business Group on Health (NEBGH), in partnership with Frier Levitt, for a behind-the-scenes look at how direct contracting works in practice.

Using Boeing's advanced primary care strategy as a real-world case study, this discussion will bring together key participants involved in developing and implementing the arrangement to explore what it takes to move from concept to execution.

Panelists will share perspectives on the employer's objectives, the role of the network convener, and the legal and contracting considerations involved, including challenges encountered, lessons learned, and practical considerations for other employers exploring similar approaches.

Fiduciary Risk Is Rising: How to Defend Your Health Plan Decisions

With projected health benefit cost increases approaching 9% and growing scrutiny around GLP-1 coverage, PBM strategy, and vendor performance, employers are increasingly expected to defend not only outcomes—but the decisions behind them.

Fiduciary responsibility is no longer simply a compliance exercise. It requires documented oversight, transparent decision-making, and governance processes that can withstand CFO, regulatory, and legal review.

This session focuses on what fiduciary proof looks like in practice and how employers and advisors can implement governance frameworks that are continuous, documented, and financially defensible.
