BERKELEY CA USA -- HEALTHCARE UPDATE NEWS SERVICE™ -- MAY 20, 2021: Frustrated by the continued erosion of health care affordability, many employers believe that they have exhausted every option to reduce the cost of health care services. Some try to take matters into their own hands: negotiating contracts with local providers by pooling their volume of covered lives with other health care purchasers. We call these efforts aggregated purchasing.

Join CPR on May 20 from 1-3pm EDT to learn which factors are essential for aggregated purchasing models to succeed. Attendees will also hear from leaders in Pittsburgh, PA; Madison, WI; and Summit County, CO who have overcome obstacles to achieve remarkable results through aggregated purchasing.
