Containing Employer's Healthcare Costs: A New Partnership with Employees
Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 1:30pm ET
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Speaker: Craig Hasday
Healthcare costs continue to erode the bottom line of American companies; business owners and senior executives are being challenged to stem this tide. In this webinar, employers will learn how healthcare is being redefined. Healthcare has seemingly been viewed as an entitlement. Care of an illness or injury has been administered with little financial responsibility or consequence to employees for the control of the cost of care. Improving employee health and requiring them to consider the financial impact of medical decisions is the new normal. You'll learn how much healthcare costs have risen in the last decade and review the new paradigm of employee/employer cost sharing. The end result: reduction in costs for both the employer and the consumer.
