It’s not news that health care costs are rising. But did you know that a handful of costly, complex conditions are driving a quarter of the total health care spend in the United States? [1]

There's a compelling human and financial need for payers and employers to have a management strategy for populations with conditions like cancer, musculoskeletal disorders and kidney disease.

Optum has analyzed a growing body of research that helps characterize the economic rise of these conditions.

Discover the research findings in a webinar October 22nd at 1 p.m. ET.

Jon Friedman, MD, FAST, Chief medical officer of Medical Benefit Management at Optum, will uncover:

* The impact cancer, kidney disease and musculoskeletal conditions have on overall health care costs
* Cost drivers behind these conditions and future cost projections
* Strategies payers and employers can use to manage complex conditions - Centers of Excellence networks, care management programs and more
