Description

As the leading experts in CKD prevention and dialysis cost containment for self-funded employers, Renalogic will show attendees exactly what "seeing clearly" looks like in practice: identifying at-risk members before a diagnosis strikes, intervening early through specialized clinical programs, and repricing dialysis claims to protect plan assets. We will have two individuals with vast experience in evaluating and implementing dialysis and renal disease programs.

Why this matters to employers:
Monthly dialysis cost can run $20,000 up to $180,000 per member which equates to $240-$2.1MM annually. This session gives employers the intelligence and tools to get ahead of CKD before it devastates their plan. Experts have spent over two decades proving that prevention is not only possible, but financially transformative. Employers will leave knowing exactly what to look for, and exactly what to do next.

Actionable takeaways:
1. Why CKD is the hidden driver of catastrophic claims and why waiting for a diagnosis is not an option
2. How to proactively identify undiagnosed at-risk members using biomarkers, claims data, and predictive analytics
3. The clinical and financial case for early intervention and how it can prevent members from ever reaching dialysis
4. A real employer success story: measurable outcomes in cost savings, member health, and plan sustainability
