Heard @ HLTH: Solera’s Strategy for Reducing Healthcare Costs with Virtual Specialty Care

‍

In this exclusive interview filmed live HLTH 2024, MedCity News Editor-in-Chief Arundhati Parmar sits down with Ed Liebowitz, Chief Strategy Officer at Solera Health, to discuss how employers and health plans are shifting from wellness-only models to more robust virtual specialty care.

Ed shares how Solera’s HALO platform is helping reduce point solution fatigue by providing a single point of integration for billing, quality management, and clinical oversight—giving employers access to curated and scalable digital health solutions across nine key conditions.

He also dives into groundbreaking research with Health at Scale that analyzed the impact of virtual care on a 50-million-member dataset—revealing up to a 300 basis point reduction in medical loss ratio (MLR) when using Solera’s network of solutions.

Key topics include:

• The rise of virtual specialty care (e.g., women’s health, endocrinology, GI)
• Why Solera’s model outperforms app marketplaces like Epic’s App Orchard
• How the HALO Platform reduces fragmentation and improves cost savings
• New data demonstrating how virtual care accelerates ROI vs brick-and-mortar
