Learn how to effectively evaluate today's innovative defined benefit plans for your organization with a research-based approach to claims management. 

Twenty to 30 years ago, defined or limited benefit plans were the norm.  Today, however, most health care companies are pitching comprehensive plans as the only alternative.  As a result of this shift, many employees as well as small and medium-sized companies are being left behind due to the rising premiums, co-insurance and annual deductibles.  Learn how to effectively close this gap via this unique session which explores:

· How a Defined Benefit plan works & how it can reduce costs for companies and employees

· Stark differences between today's innovative Defined Benefit plans & yesterday's 'mini-meds'

· Potential impact of PPACA (Health Reform) legislation

· How to eliminate employee first-dollar co-pays or annual deductibles via Group Indemnity; and

· Effective ways to leverage Defined Benefit plans for self-funded groups or Taft-Hartley Funds.
