Session 1: Roles and Responsibilities
This session examines the roles and responsibilities of insurance carriers, employers, and employ-ees. You will be provided with information on what your rights and expectations are as the policyhold-er, administrator, employee. The focus will be on what’s in (or not included in) the insurance contract and why those provisions are there. This presentation will set the stage for the rest of the seminar. Session 2: Claims Administration
This session provides an overview of claims administration for all product lines: life insurance, short/long term disability, and health and dental. What happens when a plan member makes a claim? What technological advances have been made? How can claim administration be made more efficient? The session will also outline the plan member’s experience, the plan sponsor’s expectations, who is paid and when, and how carriers protect the future of the plan and control costs. Session 3: Flex Benefits: The Past, Present & Future
This session will focus on the fundamentals of flexible benefits including details on considerations in the design, administration, and pricing of flexible arrangements. The session will include a discussion on an array of design options in adding flexibility to a plan, including flexible spending accounts, mod-ular plans and cafeteria style plans. Session 4: Funding
How are premiums set? What is the role of a group’s experience rating? How is a plan’s cash flow monitored? How is the insurance company selected? What criteria should be employed? When should the plan sponsor self-insure? This session examines these and other issues relating to the financial management of benefits plans. Session 5: Emerging Issues
Absenteeism, presenteeism, mobile technology, wellness programs, millennials, managed drug for-mularies… the buzz words surround us. But what does that mean for the world of benefits? Are we headed for a benefit meltdown or what will the next 5 years bring? This provocative session will kick start your thinking as we look into the future.
Session 6: Total Compensation/Total Rewards
What are total rewards and why they are important to organizations? This presentation will answer these questions, explore the types of total rewards models, and discuss how to implement a program that aligns with market conditions.
