?Want to know how to prepare your business for what lies ahead in 2025?
Join us for an engaging panel discussion focused on proposed healthcare reforms that could impact self-funded employers in the new year. We’ll explore key issues on the legislative calendar that could affect benefit plan designs and the prices we pay for healthcare.
Employers’ medical spend trend is increasing, and prescription drug spending is now 40 – 60% of their total spend, so understanding what’s happening is key. We’ll also explore what’s going on with the upcoming state, congressional and presidential elections and what the results could mean for your business. Equip yourself with the insights and tools to confidently navigate possible health policy changes and protect your organization as we explore important issues such as price transparency, employer access to data, and PBM reform.
CE credits for HRCI, SHRM, and OCI have been applied for.
