    Tanya Haught, Key Account Sales Executive, United Healthcare

    Sponsored by:

    An employer’s health plan needs to curb rising health care costs without trimming the benefit or shifting costs onto employees — this may help recruit and retain top talent. A plan should be designed to provide upfront cost and coverage information, not cut benefits to save on cost.

    When members check prices before seeking or scheduling care — with lower copays assigned to providers evaluated as higher-value — they have the power of information to make their own decisions — and potentially save money. By designing a benefit plan that aligns cost and value, and allowing members an easy way to see their options, value can be provided to employees and employers.

    Learning objectives:

    • Learn how healthcare data can be used to drive members to high value providers, which generates savings for employees and employers
    • Evidence shows that being actively engaged in health care can lead to better health outcomes.  Learn how to give members the tools to better understand their cost and coverage options, and make informed decisions.

    Tanya Haught is the Key Account Sales Executive at United Healthcare in Austin, Texas.  She has over 20 years of experience working with brokers and consultants to provide creative solutions that help employers address the rising cost of healthcare and make the system easier to navigate for employees and their families.

    Through her role, she strives to impact the healthcare industry in a positive and meaningful way with compassion and integrity. 

    Tanya has lived in Austin for 25 years with her husband and their two children.  Her daughter, Kennedy, is a 2023 graduate from Auburn University.  Her son, Caden, is entering his Junior year at Texas A&M University.  In her free time, she enjoys hiking, wine tasting, and loves to travel as much as possible.
