CEO Donald Trigg and Chief Medical Officer Kevin Wang to present session on Best Practices
for Transforming Employer-Sponsored Health Care
SEATTLE, Oct. 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- apree health, a leader in
advanced primary care solutions, will present at the 2024 National
Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Health Innovation Summit
taking place October 31 to November 2
in Nashville, Tennessee. CEO
Donald Trigg and Chief Medical
Officer Kevin Wang, MD, will frame
their thinking on "Best Practices for Transforming
Employer-Sponsored Health Care" as national employers continue to
struggle with skyrocketing health care costs for employees and
their families.
"The latest Business Group on Health data tells the story:
'healthcare costs are expected to grow at the highest rate in a
decade.' These increases will mean more than 50% cost growth for
employers since 2017," said Donald
Trigg. "The single biggest lever we have to tackle this
debilitating cost trend is advanced primary care. We are excited
NCQA will offer us the opportunity to share the power of our model
at their annual innovation summit."
apree health is proud to be NCQA certified for Wellness &
Health Promotion and Self-Management tools, affirming their
services meet the highest standards of quality and reliability for
health plans and employers. Additionally, their clinical care
across all centers continues to be among the top performing in the
country, measuring at the 75th-90th percentile of HEDIS on average,
based on NCQA benchmarks.
"Advanced primary care plays a pivotal role in addressing rising
costs by focusing on prevention, early intervention and continuous
care to reduce costly downstream interventions," said Kevin Wang. "Our industry-leading HEDIS scores
tied to performance guarantees for clients on key metrics like
cancer and mental health screening and willingness to take
financial risk reflects our commitment to the best cost and health
outcomes."
The 2024 NCQA Health Innovation Summit will take place in person
at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville. Please visit ncqasummit.com for
