Summary

During this Forum-exclusive networking webinar, attendees will participate in an interactive discussion about approaches for setting hospital prices, as well as ways to actually reduce patient charges. The speaker will cite research in these areas and share techniques for evaluating inpatient versus outpatient charges and determining a hospital or health system’s ability to implement those charge reductions. The audience will participate in an extended Q&A with the speaker.

Key takeaways:

• Understand which scenarios are appropriate for price reductions.
• Learn why chargemaster reductions are the less likely method to lower patient out-of-pocket payments.
• Discover various tools to evaluate price reductions.
• Receive a sample tool
• Learn about price reduction approaches that maintain financial viability. 

Participants will be able to ask questions and discuss pricing approaches specific to their own facilities. Please note that that the specific level or amount of a price cannot be discussed.
