The pharmaceutical supply chain is complex, costly, and burdened by intermediaries that drive up prices while obscuring transparency. Rising drug costs and opaque pricing demand a new approach. This session explores a direct-to-consumer, direct-to-employer pharmaceutical model designed to eliminate middlemen, increase transparency, and align incentives around patient access and employer value.

 
9:45 AM - 10:30 AM
 

Explore how employer-aligned primary care models improve access, reduce complexity, and deliver predictable costs with mental health care built directly into the primary care experience. Attendees will learn how simplifying primary care benefits can enhance employee experience while supporting better health outcomes and more effective healthcare spending.

 
10:30 AM - 11:15 AM
 

Explore how employer-directed onsite and nearsite clinics give employers greater control over healthcare costs while increasing primary care access, reducing unnecessary spending, and offering convenience and care coordination for employees. Attendees will learn how bringing care closer to the workplace minimizes time away from work, and drives higher productivity through a more effective, employee-centered health strategy.

 
11:15 AM - 11:30 AM
 
 
 
11:30 AM - 12:15 PM
 

With hospitals accounting for 50 cents of every dollar spent in the commercial market, employers are looking for alternative pathways to affordable hospital-based care. This session examines the shift from traditional hospital networks to direct contracting partnerships that prioritize value, quality, and transparency. Attendees will learn how employers can build collaborative relationships with hospitals to control costs, enhance care coordination, and improve outcomes for their workforce.
