PR Announcement – New Year, New Parental Leave Policy
EBG is proud to announce that, starting in 2020, it will provide all employees with ten weeks of paid leave to care for and bond with a newborn or adopted child. Birth mothers will receive an additional six to eight weeks, for up to eighteen weeks of total paid leave. The new policy does not distinguish between primary and secondary caregiver status and is available to all of our people. Understanding that balancing personal and professional lives can be demanding, especially when navigating the exciting changes families experience as they grow, EBG is proud to provide several other key programs in coordination with our parental leave policy. We offer support on all aspects of family life, including adoption, single parenting, blended families, discipline and safety, education, planning for college, financial aid, caring for seniors, and more. EBG also offers options for backup care at home and at child care centers to further assist parents and help them achieve a work/life balance. For more information, please visit www.ebglaw.com.

Free White Paper – Utilization Management Takes on New Meaning, Requires Additional TLC Under Value-Based Care Models

As healthcare moves toward the full embrace of value-based care models, utilization management (UM) is increasingly leveraged as a means to not only manage costs but to ensure quality and manage risk as well. Both payer and provider organizations are leveraging UM as a key strategy of various population health initiatives. With these programs, UM is used to maintain the highest quality of care while reducing or eliminating care that is inefficient, wasteful or unnecessary.

In this white paper, the thought leaders at Medecision share their insights on approaches healthcare organizations need to consider to deal with the challenges arising from UM’s new meaning and increased importance under value-based care.
