Marpai, Inc., an artificial intelligence (AI)-technology company transforming the $22B Third-Party Administrator (TPA) market supporting self-funded employer health plans, featured Dr. Marty Makary as a keynote speaker at its second annual Broker Retreat held at the Four Seasons hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, FL this week. The annual event brings the nation’s top brokers and consultants in self-insured healthcare together from across the country to explore the use of big data and AI to improve health outcomes and savings. In his keynote address, Dr. Makary talked about using quality metrics to transform the healthcare system, especially in the self-insured sector.
“I’m glad to have the opportunity to speak with the country’s top brokers and consultants as they can create real change across the industry. We all share an aspiration to lower costs and improve outcomes. By focusing on quality metrics related to the appropriateness of care, we can better address avoidable care and reduce the medicalization of ordinary life,” said Dr. Makary.
Lutz Finger, Marpai’s President, Product and Development, praised Dr. Makary’s accomplishments during his introduction. “Dr. Makary’s groundbreaking work shows where we need to go. It aligns with our Marpai Cares member-centric approach to the market which leverages quality data to protect members and guide them to the best health solutions,” said Lutz. “It is how we create the healthiest member population for the health plan dollar and get to a value-based care model in the self-insured sector.”
