Healthcare Affordability and Employee Benefits with Darius Chehrzad, Paytient
In this HRchat we hone in on employee financial wellbeing. Bill Banham is joined by Darius Chehrzad, the Chief Commercial Officer at Paytient, a company focused on helping people better access affordable care. Paytient works with employers, partners, brokers, and health systems to provide a healthier way to pay for out-of-pocket care expenses.
Questions Include:
- How does something like Paytient fit into an employer's benefits offering?
- What does it mean to say affordability in healthcare has moved one step forward and two steps back?
- What is the effect of OOP increasing on our physical and financial well-being? What is the effect of members not being able to pay medical bills?
- What is the effect of this on providers? How does this come back in higher fees and premiums?
- What are the non-obvious implications that HR is missing? When employees are not getting care, what are the long-term effects?
- With this cycle of price increases and people not getting care, there seems to be a big focus on HDHP to try to keep costs down. How does Paytient help with this transition?
