Stronger Together: Henry Ford Health and BCBS Reenvision Partnership

As payer and provider negotiations intensify and Medicare Advantage economics face continued pressure from rising utilization and changing reimbursement, focus is shifting to the drivers of a future-state economic model that can support positive operating margin for both payers and providers.

In this session, Richard Bajner and Robin Damschroder (CFO and President, Value-Based Enterprise, Henry Ford Health) will share how Henry Ford Health and BCBSM built a sustainable model, highlighting three critical needs: incremental levers to build a strong payer-provider partnership across multiple lines of business; a clear roadmap for delivering results in partnership with major health plans; and a disciplined, value-based framework to improve outcomes, control costs, and advance health equity.
