The #insurance industry's talent crunch: Attracting and retaining Gen Z The last three years have exposed a growing challenge for insurance carriers: attracting, hiring and retaining young talent. Despite the passing of the so-called "Great Resignation," the insurance industry continues to face significant #workforce challenges. Insurance Journal Heather H.

Dems and GOP unite to revive bill limiting #PBM drug pricing practices Republicans and Democrats have teamed up recently to bring back a bill that could affect how employers' #pharmacy benefit managers get paid. The bill would limit a PBM working with a #health coverage provider, including an employer's self-insured plan or a provider of fully insured group health coverage, charging flat fees for services.

Study suggests cheap health insurance can delay cancer diagnosis, increase risk of death People who opt for short-term limited duration #insurance tend to have their cancers diagnosed at a more advanced stage, when treatments are harsher and death more likely, according to a new study by American Cancer Society researchers.

NABIP thanks Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for listening to our concerns and withdrawing its policy change on the Special Enrollment Period (SEP) for individuals affected by disasters or emergencies. The initial change would have left seniors who were already dealing with disaster hardships fending for themselves when making critical enrollment decisions. Continuing to allow independent agents to assist in these situations eases stress and ensures Medicare beneficiaries get the coverage they need during difficult times. We appreciate #CMS for hearing our concerns and taking action to prioritize the needs of seniors! #NABIP #CMS #SEP #ProtectingSeniors #BrokersMakingADifference?
