Health insurance providers are in the midst of a generational identity shift—moving away from their traditional role as “risk aggregators” and pursuing diversification of their service offerings and revenue streams. These strategic moves will reinvent the way they are perceived by their members, their purchasers, and their competitors. But these strategic moves are also increasingly imperative for survival: In a world of shrinking margins, new and more powerful competitors, and increased expectations from consumers, health insurance providers are increasingly motivated to become health solutions companies that embody and own more parts of the care experience. Join us as we explore the trends in diversification and vertical integration driving the development of health solutions companies with more detailed advice on how health insurance providers can think about diversification at scale and best bets for organizations of all sizes. We will explore the feasibility and goals of different avenues of diversification while envisioning what the health plan landscape may look like in the next 5-10 years.
