In the world of TPAs and other point solution vendors, there are takers and shapers.  Takers accept the health care market dynamics as they are and try to squeeze out a few extra dollars of savings with another round of discount negotiation thumb-wrestling or perhaps a shiny new app.  Shapers, on the other hand, aren’t afraid to upend the status quo.  They intrepidly adopt disruptive network and benefit design strategies that elevate high-value providers; they insist on holding providers accountable through alternative payment models; they hand purchasers the steering wheel by enabling direct contracting.  Some of these vendors are TPAs, but others aren’t in the business of paying claims: that’s why we call them market-shaping enterprises.

We hope you’ll join CPR and a star-studded roster of thought-leaders, employers, vendors and consultants, as we explore the ways that health care purchasers can take back their market power and forge their own pathway toward superior quality, affordability, and care experience.
