Leadership Series: Healthcare Finance 101

Matt Lund (Chief Contracting Officer, UW Medicine) and Michael Myint (Associate Professor of Medicine; Chief Population Health Officer, UW Medicine) will review what wasn’t taught in medical school about how the healthcare financing system in the US operates today, how we are paid at UW Medicine by insurers, and how the market is changing rapidly.

Learning objectives

1. Understand the ways that UW Medicine is currently paid in fee-for-service and in fee-for-value models.
2. Understand key terms and how they are derived including wRVU, DRG, Evaluation and Management (E and E) coding, and concepts around risk-adjustment.
3. Understand changes in the marketplace and strategies integrated healthcare systems such as UW Medicine have in place to thrive in an uncertain healthcare environment.
