Overview

Employers want to believe their chosen benefits partners are trustworthy and have their best interests in mind, yet these relationships may not be what they appear. In fact, they can be complicated and unbalanced. Employers may feel powerless against large, consolidated companies with great market power, but that’s just an illusion. In reality, employers can and should exercise their influence and authority to drive change by holding partners accountable and insisting on trust, integrity and price transparency. This has never been more important or relevant due to employers’ fiduciary responsibility to provide health benefits that are in the sole interest of their employees and beneficiaries. Join fellow employers for our 45th annual conference to better understand the illusions that exist in health care and benefits and how to pave the way to a new reality where employers reclaim their leverage and rebalance relationships.
