2. Back to Basics—Managing Health Plan Costs "Inside the Box"!
This session provides a thought-provoking, interactive—and perhaps controversial—discussion about what we’ve learned from past attempts to control health care costs and how our approach in the future may be completely different. Have we spent so much time looking “outside the box” that the answer might be “inside the box”? Learn from a corporate benefits professional with more than three decades of experience what
we’ve done in the past to control costs and why we are still looking for the solution. Explore the challenges facing employers in the future and discover how health and welfare plans will affect recruiting and retention of a very different workforce.
