HealthTech Perspectives continues on with the Patient Perspective (and a POV that is highly relatable). We delve into the often murky waters of healthcare costs and patient experiences.

Shockingly, while 95% of individuals believe healthcare providers should disclose costs upfront, only 17% actually receive estimates. This discrepancy highlights a significant gap in the current healthcare system.

Yet, amidst these challenges, there are glimmers of hope. Some healthcare segments, such as dentistry, have adopted practices of providing upfront cost estimates, setting a precedent for transparency in the industry. However, these practices are not yet widespread, leaving many patients in the dark about their financial obligations until after treatment.

We also explore:

• incentivizing patients to engage with transparent healthcare platforms
• the potential role of third-party patient navigators
• the ongoing efforts to improve transparency and affordability in healthcare

Continuing with our inaugural mini-series, HealthTech Perspectives, and this week we delve into the often overlooked, Health Plan Payer perspective. We highlight the reality of health plans often being viewed as billing entities, and members interacting with them only when faced with challenges or issues.

One of the main things people think of is the lack of transparency and trust between members and health plans. And we emphasize the importance of building long-term relationships. There are the challenges faced by individuals navigating health plans, the frequency of plan changes, and the need for a more transparent and trusting relationship.

We also explore:

• the role of health plans in preventive care, specifically for expectant mothers, where apps and reminders play a significant role
• how health plans can better engage with members at various life stages, providing personalized support and guidance
• the potential of technology to enhance the member experience
