INSIDER: March 2025

What's on members' minds

In March, Alliance executives convened in Dallas for our Spring Leadership Forum where they engaged in forward-looking conversations around the policy and economic forces reshaping healthcare. From post-election implications to macroeconomic trends, the focus was on how payers and providers can strategically adapt to regulatory shifts and evolving market conditions.

Innovation in health plan models took center stage, with a particular emphasis on the rise of provider-sponsored plans and alternative coverage options like ICHRAs. These models were explored as key drivers of financial performance, differentiation, and long-term sustainability in a competitive landscape.

Leadership and resilience emerged as essential themes, especially for executives navigating complexity at the top. Discussions around employer-sponsored benefits, ACA volatility, and peer collaboration reinforced the need for alignment, adaptability, and bold thinking to lead effectively through change.
