The Best Gets Better - Getting the Most Out of Your Self-Funded Plan
Speaker: Adam V. Russo, Esq.
Date: Monday, May 22
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.
Studies routinely show that self-funded health plans provide the most robust benefits for the least cost. Yet, within the realm of self-funding itself, some plans seem to enjoy higher levels of success than others. While it's true that we can't control all factors that impact a self-funded plan's experience, there are many steps we can take to ensure our plans are operating at peak efficiency.
Join The Phia Group's CEO, Adam V. Russo, Esq., as he introduces us to the best practices every plan needs to implement, and shares stories about those who implemented them, and those that ignored them.
