Breaking the Renewal Cycle: How Employers Are Taking Control of Their Health Plans (Webinar)

May 13 @ 8:30 am - May 13 @ 10:00 am

Free

Health insurance has become one of the most unpredictable and frustrating expenses for employers. Yet many organizations still approach it the same way every year, reacting to renewals, adjusting plan design, and hoping for a better outcome.

In this session, we’ll step back and look at how leading employers are shifting away from that cycle and taking a more strategic approach to managing their health plans.

We’ll cover:

• Why traditional renewal strategies often fail to address the real cost drivers
• What data actually matters and how to use it to guide decisions
• How employers are evaluating alternative funding strategies, including level funding and captives
• Practical ways to improve transparency, control pharmacy spend, and reduce long-term costs without cutting benefits

This will be a candid, real-world discussion focused on what’s actually working, where employers are getting stuck, and how to move forward with more clarity and confidence.

THIS EVENT IS FREE FOR ALL EANE MEMBERS & NON-MEMBERS
