How many of you know what Penetration Pricing is? It's nothing new and I'm seeing a lot of it in healthcare right now And not by hospitals.... But by new entrants to the direct-to-employer space Companies that cash-flow growth or "bootstrap" can't do this They need to charge a reasonable rate to make a margin to survive and grow VC /PE backed companies can do this and they are doing it! We've all felt the rug pulled out from underneath us before Remember that time you got that really low premium increase just to see it go up exponentially in the coming years :) Be HIGHLY skeptical of any solution that sells in at a low rate and promises the world to you The goal of VC/PE is to make a TON of money... They have investors and shareholders that they need to make happy and attract more of Oh how so many will come back in the next several years in much worse situations because all they kept trying to do is cost shift!!! CORE SOLUTIONS are the only solutions Get out of the rat race #healthcare #business #hr #benefits #ceo #strategy

Great story demonstrating so much more! 1. Difficult access to an assigned PCP 2. If this patient had been able to connect with their PCP, they would have been billed a copay (probably $25-$40) AND had an insurance bill dropped on their plan for $200 - $400 3. They would have spent probably 10 minutes with their provider. The HealthBar Way.... 1. Concierge-level access to a dedicated NP 2. NO copay or insurance billed 3. An appointment that lasts at least 20 - 30 minutes where you are actually listened to! The difference is clear.... Primary care can be done better #healthcare #business #hr #benefits #CEO #insurance

CVS Health/Walmart/Walgreens Healthcare Solutions/Etc: "Primary Care is hard..." HealthBar: Hold my 🍺 #Healthcare #business #hr #benefits #ceo ##insurance

It's just a game of "follow the money" for these organizations... They really don't care about changing healthcare They really don't care about your health They care about a trillion-dollar industry and getting their piece of the pie... An interesting snippet though "Fewer people pay for pet care through insurance and the centers themselves can be smaller, she said. People want transparent pricing since they often pay out of pocket." Insurance-based healthcare creates too much complexity for these organizations to succeed. Cash-based healthcare systems are rising... #healthcare #business #Insurance #strategy #ceo #finance

I hear his more and more from hospital systems... "We're going into schools to RECRUIT students for healthcare careers..." Think about this for a minute Shouldn't the focus be... "We're going into schools to TEACH students how to be healthy..." It's a prime example of the issue with our system and the perspective of healthcare organizations Instead of recruiting more people to treat illness, what if the focus was placed on preventating disease so we don't need so many people to treat them!? Perspective is everything... #healthcare #business #hr #insurance #ceo #education

I know many of you like Grant Cardone... But the end all be all goal of making money is toxic It's destroying households... It's destroying lives... It's destroying healthcare.... Don't destroy your life trying to make money only to die before you can use it I feel sad for these people as they don't truly know what life is about You come into this world with nothing and you'll leave with nothing... #Healthcare #realestate #money #business #strategy #ceo

No better time than NOW to join the HealthBar movement :) Be a part of the solution...not the problem. #healthcare #business #nursing #RN #schools #hr

You can't just keep cost-shifting as an employer. If this is your only strategy, you will run out of options very soon If you're not addressing root-causes of utilization and providing additional access points to your workforce, your costs will continue to escalate. If you're not looking at this like an investment and long term strategy as an employer, you're already behind. And sorry, AI won't solve this problem... And fundamental shift in how healthcare is accessed will #Healthcare #business #hr #benefits #insurance #ceo

So deeply resonate with this! The message never gets old and so many key takeaways... You look crazy at first Then others join And momentum is achieved Then all those on the outside join just because they don't want to look crazy! HealthBar has momentum :) This is more than a business...it's care delivery innovation that's scaling... #Healthcare #business #hr #benefits #ceo #movement #insurance
