Exhibitors

change:healthcare

change:healthcare
change:healthcare (C:H) is on a mission to arm employees with the weapons necessary to reverse the escalating upward trend of U.S. healthcare costs. As an organization we believe that transforming healthcare users into healthcare buyers is the best opportunity the United States has to slow the inflationary cost spiral and match care with need. Employers and their employees bear the brunt of runaway cost. Imagine buying something really expensive without the luxury of knowing the actual price? Healthcare consumerism requires knowing the cost of what you are buying today or in the future. C:H provides employees with actionable cost information that is relevant to their health plan, market and most common healthcare purchases. Employees in a high deductible plan deserve to know the cost of healthcare before they receive an EOB.
