As renewal season brings another year of double-digit healthcare cost increases, many employers are rethinking how to manage expenses without shifting more burden to employees. In the latest episode of Centivo's Real Talk, our Chief Strategy and Growth Officer Peter Bridges joins Ashok Subramanian, and Rivka Friedman of Morgan Health to share practical ways employers can bend the cost curve and improve care. In this conversation, you'll hear how to: ● Rethink renewal season as a strategic opportunity, not just a spreadsheet exercise. ● Use plan design to influence both costs and outcomes. ● Integrate high-value programs instead of layering on new vendors. ● Support employees facing complex conditions like cancer, one of the biggest cost drivers, with seamless access to evidence-based expertise. ● Empower brokers and advisors to lead with data, conviction and value-based solutions that challenge the status quo. Budgets are tight and renewal fatigue is real but every renewal is a chance to design something better. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/eH4Axzhq #BenefitsStrategy #CancerCare #ValueBasedCare

70% of family caregivers in the U.S. also work outside the home, and 60% spend at least 40 hours per week providing care. For those caring for someone with cancer, the balancing act is even more complex. Read more for strategies on balancing work and caregiving, and finding the support you need. Because caring for others starts with caring for yourself. #Caregiving #WorkingCaregivers #CancerSupport

While avoiding smoking is still the most effective way to reduce risk of lung cancer, new insights are reshaping our understanding of the disease. According to The New York Times, up to 25% of lung cancer cases worldwide are now found in people who have never smoked—a startling statistic that underscores the importance of awareness and early detection. At AccessHope, we believe expert cancer knowledge should be accessible no matter where you live or receive care. That's why we connect people with leading subspecialty expertise from National Cancer Institute—Designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers to help guide the most effective treatment paths for complex cancer like lung cancer. ✅Early screening saves lives. If you or a loved one is at risk, or even without symptoms, talk to your doctor about screening options. https://lnkd.in/ey4-EKgk #LungCancerAwarenessMonth #LungCancer #EarlyDetection #CancerAwareness

A huge thank you to Association for Value-Based Cancer Care for an incredible conference! Our chief medical officer, Yousuf Zafar, MD, MHS, had the privilege of participating in three thought-provoking panels, and we're grateful for the meaningful conversations. Key panel takeaways: •The oncology landscape has transformed dramatically over the past decade. With innovative treatments extending patient survival and new immunotherapy toxicities emerging unpredictably, we must stay vigilant and adaptive in our approach to care. •Clear, validated metrics are essential for evaluating cancer care solutions. Employers need concrete evidence of value to make informed decisions about which programs truly serve their populations. •Technology enables us to deliver highly competent and compassionate cancer care remotely. We must thoughtfully consider how virtual modalities may influence patients' choices in selecting their care providers. Thank you to everyone who engaged in these critical discussions. The future of oncology care depends on collaborations like these. #Oncology #CancerCare #HealthcareInnovation #AVBCC
