When managing your health care costs\, you can’t do the same thing repeatedly and expect a different result. Health insurance is a billion-dollar business with many inefficiencies along with hidden revenue streams that do not benefit employers. Most health insurance providers are not transparent in pricing\, making it difficult for employers to understand their true plan costs. To break the cycle and master a better solution\, employers need to find the components causing waste within their employer-sponsored health plan. \nDuring this seminar\, you will learn the components causing the waste within your health plan. We will review several strategies available to middle-market employers that can be deployed to eliminate waste\, reduce costs\, and put money back in your employees’ pockets. \nFACULTY\nTerriann Procida – CEO\, Innovative Benefits Planning\nJohn Romaska – Vice President of Benefits Consulting\, Innovative Benefit Planning \nLEARNING OUTCOMES \n\nList one way to improve delivery of care while improving the quality of care.\nDescribe one way of measuring risk based on data.\nExplain how the PBM Market works.\n\nCONTINUING EDUCATION INFORMATION\nNursing Home Administrators Licensing Board Accreditation\nThis continuing education program is sponsored/conducted by the Health Research and Educational Trust of New Jersey (HRETNJ) and is in compliance with N.J.A.C. 8:34-7.3 to provide licensed nursing home administrator (LNHA) education credits accepted by the Nursing Home Administrators Licensing Board.
