Direct Contracting in Action: Inside an Employer’s Advanced Primary Care Strategy
As employers face continued healthcare cost pressures, many are looking beyond traditional health plans and vendor arrangements for strategies that can improve access, strengthen prevention, and create greater control over healthcare spending.
Join Northeast Business Group on Health (NEBGH), in partnership with Frier Levitt, for a behind-the-scenes look at how direct contracting works in practice.
Using Boeing's advanced primary care strategy as a real-world case study, this discussion will bring together key participants involved in developing and implementing the arrangement to explore what it takes to move from concept to execution.
Panelists will share perspectives on the employer's objectives, the role of the network convener, and the legal and contracting considerations involved, including challenges encountered, lessons learned, and practical considerations for other employers exploring similar approaches.

The Missing Layer in Employer Healthcare
Healthcare benefits usage is inherently episodic. Employees don't think in benefits categories—they think about the problem they're trying to solve.
Nearly 50% of employers are evaluating point-solution consolidation, yet many may be solving for complexity rather than the root cause of low utilization. Why do employees continue to struggle to engage despite growing investments in benefits, navigation, and digital health solutions?
Traditional benefits platforms were built on the assumption that employees would proactively seek out information. In reality, employees look for help only when a need arises—and that's often when critical information is hardest to find.
