Direct to Employer (DTE) Contracting

Mission: Because healthcare is not a free market in the US where the buyer and seller of services know the price at the time of transaction, direct relationships between healthcare providers ("sellers") and Employers ("buyers") can be a powerful first step. While direct relationships offer price transparency and more predictable cash flow for providers and Employers, these relationships also opens the door to new opportunities, such as steerage, new services, and other strategic benefits. Direct to Employer Contracting is a methodology that ACHRM began developing early in its history. Initially, we identified seven critical phases, which has laid foundation for the Road Map project this team is developing, which will be a valuable tool for buyers, sellers, and consultants to develop and implement Direct to Employer Contracting.
