It is one day your company cannot afford to miss.
With the passing of the health care bill, huge changes could be on the horizon for your firm.
To help understand what the new law means, CDHC Solutions, the nation's leading magazine and online community on health care consumerism, is hosting a one-day health care benefits forum Sept. 9 at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta.
“We are bringing to the Southeast an Innovative forum with quality leaders and companies that will impact the local health care consumerism movement,” said Doug Field, CEO of FieldMedia and producer of CDHC Solutions Forum 2010.
“Companies must be innovative; status quo does not work. Everyone is going through a paradigm shift. This forum is designed to show what successful companies are doing.”
The one-day format makes it convenient to attend without disrupting the workweek like a longer conference.
However, it will not skimp on information, offering to help employers prepare for and manage the new health care law and give A-to-Z insight into consumer-directed health care solutions.
Headlining an all-star cast of guest speakers is Ronald E. Bachman, FSA, MAAA, senior fellow at the Center for Health Transformation and chairman of the CDHC Solutions Editorial Advisory Board. His session is entitled, "Health Care Reform, MegaTrends and Health Care Consumerism." “Health care consumerism is about transforming health benefit plans by putting economic purchasing power and decision-making in the hands of the participants.“ Bachman said.
Additionally, John Hickman, partner, Alston & Bird LLP, will lead a general session on "Health Plan Changes for 2010 and Beyond: What's an Employer to Do?"
Also on the docket are Charles W. Smith, MD, chairman and medical director of eDocAmerica; Roy Ramthun, former health care adviser to President Bush and president of HSA Consulting Services; Dan Morrill, president of product development, Dynamic Benefit Systems; Mark O'Leary, senior vice president of business development, TSYS Healthcare; Tony Holmes, partner, Mercer Health and Benefits; Terry Womack, senior fellow, Center for Health Transformation and former vice president of human resources, BellSouth; John Young, vice president, Consumerism for CIGNA Healthcare; and William Ashmore, CEO, State of Alabama Employees' Insurance Board.
Unlike typical trade shows where the information you seek is spread out across a huge hall, the Forum is focused solely on consumer-directed health care, including supplemental health benefits, pharmacy benefits management, disease management and wellness strategies, incentives, HSA/HRA/FSA administration and finance, employee communication, and much more.
Not only does the Forum offer captivating speakers, experts will offer advice on these topics:
• Supplemental Health: Providing the Right Mix for Your Employees
• Case Study in CDHC Implementations
• Utilizing Rewards and Incentives to Influence Decisions on Improved Health
• Re-Thinking, Re-Focusing, and Refinancing the Employer Investment in Wellness
• Assisting Employees in Becoming Effective ePatients
• Financial Trends Impacting Health Savings Accounts
• Pharmacy Benefit Management and Consumer-Directed Health Care
• Technology Solutions for CDH and Ways to Control Cost
• Proven Techniques to Improve Employee Participation and Engagement in Your CDHP program
