Catch the Wave! Dive into New Employer Strategies for 2020
How are you getting ready for 2020? Have you found a strategy that lowers costs for high-cost conditions – but can also improve outcomes? Do you suffer from wellness program fatigue and need inspiration to try something different? What about telehealth, ACOs, urgent care and convenience clinics – do you have a plan that prevents your employees from getting caught in a tangled web of healthcare options?
New thinking on HDHPs indicates they may not be all they’re cracked up to be. And creating a benefits strategy that caters to millennials can backfire when it comes to retaining other high-performing talent.
These are just some of the topics we’ll cover at our 8th Annual Conference.
The year 2020 is coming fast. Catch the wave and avoid a wipeout – our experts will show you how!
FEATURED DISCUSSIONS:
- Do a 360 on High Cost Conditions
- Drop In on a Wellness Wave that Works
- Don’t Take a Header on HDHPs
- Avoid Workforce Wipeout: Benefit Strategies that Span Generations
- Healthcare Equity and the Disparities Zone
- …and more!

Supporting Employees with Cancer: The Cancer Care Huddle

Hear how one employer – Pfizer – is implementing a new employee-centric model of cancer care called The Cancer Care Huddle. And learn what other employers can do to develop a similar approach!
