KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: BRINGING VALUE BACK TO BENEFITS

Employers have been spending more on benefits, and contending with more regulations and numerous challenges than ever before and their Employees are appreciating it less. Ancillary and Voluntary benefits will be integral to value going forward. Various aspects of PPACA will drive employers to having to establish 60% actuarial value plans as basis point thus requiring supplemental and voluntary to offset the punitive aspects of this. Producers and carriers have to bring value (resources, services, consulting) to make a difference and to make benefits work long-term in this new environment.
