Webcast: Price Transparency for Plan Sponsors:
Leveraging New Data to Support Benefits Strategy
October 2, 2025
1:30 pm EST

For decades, negotiated reimbursement rates between providers and health plans were some of the most highly guarded secrets in healthcare. With legislative changes over the past four years, a great deal of this data has become publicly available (first from hospitals, then from payers). 

However, there are challenges with accessing and interpreting this information due to volume and reliability of the data. In this webinar, we will discuss how the data has evolved over the past four years, the methods that Milliman is using to enrich the data, and the opportunities for plan sponsors to use this information to support benefits program decisions.

Takeaways:

• What data is available for plan sponsors?
• What steps need to be taken to enrich the data and make it usable?
• How can this data support plan sponsor decisions related to selection of plan administrators, networks, and plan design?
