7:15 – 8:15 am BREAKFAST
8:30 – 9:20 am THE SHIFT TOWARD PREVENTION
As the cost of treating obesity and the resulting health complications continues to soar, insurers and the government are looking more and more at prevention. Many insurers are now excluding coverage for stomach stapling and other obesity surgeries, but have yet to offer or cover weight management programs or primary care physician counseling. How are insurers thinking differently about prevention, and what are the key considerations as they develop broad weight management programs? Experts will explore the political and economic pressures on government programs, insurance companies and health-care providers and discuss new thinking.
