Steve Kane starts with a story rather than a definition. Through the example of Maria, a member juggling chronic conditions and bouncing between uncoordinated specialists, he illustrates why connection and coordination sit at the heart of value based care. It is less about the term itself and more about what a member should actually feel.
For CEOs, HR leaders, and brokers, the discussion turns practical. Kane explains how aligned provider incentives, shared data, and tools like AI and population health can support better outcomes, and how that connects to cost predictability and plan sustainability for employers covering large portions of their teams' care.
Using everyday analogies, from a gym coach to a kitchen remodel, Kane makes the fee for service versus value based contrast easy to grasp. He also shares the questions members can ask their doctors and offers his view on where California's landscape is heading. Press play to hear the full conversation.
