Reframing Healthcare: Unpacking Affordability, Quality, and Innovation with Dean Jargo


Listen Later

Lester J. Morales talks with Dean Jargo, the chief executive officer of Fair Market Health, about how employers can make healthcare more affordable and accessible.

 

Get a glimpse behind the scenes as Dean, a former CFO advising Fair Market Health, became its CEO after a personal experience with the marketplace platform transformed his drive and determination to bring affordable healthcare to the masses.

 

Learn from the experts:

  • Three common self-funded healthcare models employers utilize to manage their health benefits. 

  • Two things Dean wishes he had known earlier in his career

  • The common misconception about cost vs. quality in healthcare

  • How and why incentives pay off big

  • Why big box carriers don’t work harder to make healthcare affordable


  • Affordable and accessible healthcare hinges on the cost vs. quality relationship — buying healthcare isn’t like buying a luxury car. Higher prices don’t equate to better care, and the undercurrent of misaligned incentives can crush forward progress if left unaddressed. 


    This episode of Impact Healthcare covers all the bases to get your company on the road to higher-quality care for a much lower price.
