Fix Healthcare Live | How employers are controlling costs without cutting coverage

Three innovators get real about what it takes to control costs without cutting what employees need.

Healthcare spend has doubled in the last decade, and the traditional approach isn't moving the needle. In this panel from Fix Healthcare Live 2026, Bryan from Nava sits down with Kristen Rivers of Pareto Health, Chad Schneider of Thatch, and Fereshteh Dastyar of Garner Health to dig into what employers are actually doing to take back control. From self-funding and ICHRAs to data-driven plan design and provider-level analytics, the conversation covers what's working, where the industry keeps falling short, and what HR teams should be asking for starting tomorrow.
