"Health Care Reform is Here: It's Called 'Consumerism'"
When:
February 9th at 2pm ET
Description:
The health care reform bill under debate on Capitol Hill is still years away from having an impact, but real reform is already well underway – it’s called "Consumerism." Consumerism - in which consumers take personal responsibility for their health purchases rather than perpetuating the "blank check" mentality - may be the key to capping soaring health care costs and offers a powerful alternative to government-run solutions.
Topics of discussion will include:
- Trends in consumerism and the growth of HSA’s and HRA's
- The true economic impact of account-based plans vs. traditional PPO’s and HMO’s
- Challenges employers and employees face in transitioning to a Consumerism model
- Best tools for administering account-based plans and educating employees

"Benefits Administration in a Tough Economy: 10 Keys to Selecting a More Efficient Benefits System"
When:
(Archived) February 17, 2009
Description:
With budgets shrinking and healthcare costs rising, most HR departments are being asked to do more with fewer people and less money. That's why it makes more sense than ever to administer employee benefits in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible. Even if you're no longer using a manual, paper-based system for enrollment and administration, there's a good chance that your current system actually costs more time, effort and money than it saves. By choosing a more efficient system, you can avoid everything from excessive custom programming and carrier transmission fees, to payroll deduction errors, overpayment of premiums and overage dependent liabilities - not to mention unhappy employees.
