Navigating State-Level Legislation & The Future of Patient-Centered Care

In this episode of the Only Healthcare Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Randy Vogenberg, PhD, to discuss the rising influence of state-level healthcare legislation and how employers must adapt to ensure their healthcare plans align with changing regulations. With over 270 pieces of healthcare legislation in 45 states, employers must understand how these changes may impact fully-funded and self-funded plans under ERISA.

Dr. Vogenberg also dives into the evolving landscape of patient-centered care, focusing on oncology as a key example. From managing multiple chronic conditions during cancer treatment to the growth of concierge services and integrated care models, oncology is setting the stage for how future specialties like cardiology and rheumatology will evolve.

Key Topics:

• Why state-level healthcare legislation matters more than ever in 2024
• The importance of understanding your healthcare plan coverage and data
• How patient-centered oncology care is leading to better outcomes and lower costs
• Emerging trends in biologics, cell therapy, and gene therapy for employers to watch
