How the Surest health plan helped improve access to care and lowered costs
Take a closer look at UnitedHealthcare's Surest health plan, a more modern approach to health benefits that improves access to care with the goal of lowering health care expenses.
Members of the panel for the breakfast event will be Eric Kuhn, former general manager of the Colorado River Water Conservation District; and Jennifer Gimbel, interim director and senior water policy scholar at the Colorado Water Center. Mike Hooker, director of community affairs and engagement at Colorado State University, will moderate the discussion.
Discussion topics will draw from the Common Sense Institute’s recent report on the topic.
