On the surface, the medical field seems like it should be fairly cut and dried. But ask any healthcare professional and you’ll discover there’s a surprising amount of room for individual interpretation. Yes, it’s a science—but it’s also an art. That’s why second opinions are so important, especially when it comes to best practices for cancer care. Read why, plus how employers can empower their employees to seek second opinions: https://lnkd.in/e87Ez4NB #carrumhealth #blog #secondopionion #employeebenefits #healthcare #employers #wellness #cancercare

Access to specialty healthcare is a real challenge, especially for rural populations. 20% of the U.S. population lives in rural communities where the provider-patient ratio is 30 per 100K compared to 263 in urban areas. This makes for months-long delays in getting appointments and accessing care, which is why 77% of rural counties are considered ‘care deserts’. Plus, rural practitioners often need to be generalists to address multiple health issues, so sustaining a specialty care practice is challenging. This story by Maia Lura Anderson in Healthcare Brew shines a spotlight on critical barriers to care, which Carrum is fighting hard to address. Regardless of where our members live in the U.S, we work hard to provide the same access to top-quality, value-based specialty care and help bridge the healthcare gap. https://lnkd.in/gu23J-ic #HealthcareAccess #RuralHealth #Telemedicine #HealthcareEquity #CancerCare #VirtualCare #CentersofExcellence

The temperatures may be dropping, but the cost of healthcare is staying hot. Mercer’s outlook on the cost of healthcare shows healthcare costs rising 5.8% in 2025, marking the third straight year of significant increases. Employers need to think strategically about how to manage the triple threat of price inflation, workforce shortages, and high-cost specialty drugs and rein in costs while providing high quality benefit options for employees. 45% of large employers surveyed report that steering patients to value-based care options like Centers of Excellence (COE) is an important strategy. The impact of value-based options is clear: Carrum’s benefits solution has been independently validated to reduce unnecessary procedures by as much as 30%, lower readmissions by 80%, and save employers up to 45% per episode of surgical care. In this economic climate employers are looking for innovative options for their benefits portfolio. https://lnkd.in/eAjxgkAF #Healthcare #Healthbenefits #Centersofexcellence #Valuebasedcare
