Industry Innovators

The Industry Innovators program is an exclusive opportunity for forward-thinking solution providers, brokers, advisors and consultants that are demonstrating innovative solutions to health and benefits management to become deeply involved with the Institute for HealthCare Consumerism (IHC).

The IHC, the collective voice on innovative health and benefits management, has developed a way for a company to become a key component in the Institute and allow one to two c-suite members of that company to gain membership in the exclusive League of Leaders and be able to learn, connect and share with other League of Leaders and Institute members.

The League of Leaders is a forward-thinking group of individuals who form the backbone of the Institute. They are nationally recognized thought leaders in the health and benefits management field and contribute to the Institute by providing editorial content through byline articles, blogs, podcasts and conduct webinars and other outlets to share their thought leadership and health care solutions.

In addition to connecting and gaining greater access and insight into thought leadership interaction and discussions conducted by other League of Leaders and IHC members, Industry Innovators who are eager to promote health care consumerism, also have the opportunity to highlight client testimonies, success stories, and experience studies.

Industry Innovators also enjoy exclusivity in their own Industry. Only three companies are allowed to be gold members in each community of the IHC. Those communities are: Plan Design & Financing Strategies; HSA/HRA/FSA Administration & Financing; Benefit Enrollment & Eligibility; Health Data Analytics; Pharmacy Benefit Management; Supplemental Health Benefits; Medical Travel; Health Plan Communication; Health Access Alternatives; Health Decision Support Tools, Population Health Management; Health Incentives; Regulation & Incentives and Broker/Advisor/Consultant.
