NEW YORK, March 16, 2023 ~ Michelle Zettergren, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Brighton Health Plan Solutions, will be a featured presenter at the American College of Healthcare Executives 2023 Congress on Healthcare Leadership in Chicago. Along with co-presenter Lisa Janis, Assistant Vice President and Lead of Network Management at Northwell Direct, Zettergren will discuss the financial benefits and operational strategies for developing a direct contracting program.

The session, How and Why Health Systems Can Build Successful Direct Contracting Partnerships, is scheduled for Tuesday, March 21 from 2-3 p.m. Employers are increasingly looking to establish direct contracting relationships with health systems to lower their healthcare spending and get more value for their healthcare dollars. In fact, 24% of all employer healthcare purchasers are considering contracting directly with integrated health systems according to the Business Group on Health.

Brighton Health Plan Solutions leverages over 30+ years of third-party administration experience to support health systems that want to use their world-class physicians and facilities to by-pass traditional insurance and deliver a high standard of care directly to employer groups.
