Gain insight on how to analyze and manage health insurance offerings and how to review competing alternatives and plans.
The health plan an employer provides to its employees is often the second largest expense of the company - second only to payroll costs. It is important to annually monitor this substantial expense to ensure company resources are being utilized in a smart, efficient way while simultaneously maximizing the benefits participants have access to. This topic is designed to help anyone involved in the plan selection/renewal process. You will be provided with insight on how to analyze and manage health insurance offerings, information on how to review competing alternatives and plans, and key takeaways for understanding what drives up the costs of your health plan.
