Attendees at this informative seminar will learn: How to determine whether their company is a “large” employer that is subject to the Pay or Play Rule. How the Pay or Play Rule will affect employer plan design and employees. How an employer can ensure that it does not become subject to a Pay or Play Rule penalty. The definition of key terms, such as “full-time” employee, initial measurement period, standard measurement period, “minimum value” health plan, and “affordable” health plan coverage. When seasonal and temporary employees must be offered health plan coverage. Strategies in selecting measurement periods. Special transition rules for 2014.

Especially including incentives, you are spending a lot of money on wellness and related “soft” programs aimed at improving employee health. And you are being told these programs generate a high ROI. But chances are, you’re wasting your money. This webinar offers the opportunity to learn why this is the case before your CFO starts asking uncomfortable questions. All your CFO has to do is ask you what your company’s utilization trend is in preventable health-sensitive medical events (heart attacks etc.), and you’re stuck…because neither your vendors nor even your consultants are measuring or even identifying these events. Wellness isn’t magic and most medical events are unrelated to completing an HRA and being coached: when was the last time you yourself had a medical event that you could have avoided if a wellness program had been in place? This webinar will pull the curtain away from the magic of alleged wellness ROIs…and show you how you can estimate your real savings without expensive consultants or fancy actuarial calculations…using only fifth-grade arithmetic and “ingredients you already have in your kitchen.” Further, in addition to the standard HRCI eLearning credits, this webinar counts towards professional certification in Critical Outcomes Report Analysis http://dismgmt.com/certs/cora/self-study, the field’s only recognized credential in wellness/disease management analytics.

What does your CFO need to approve an effective wellness budget that will create a positive ROI? Do Health Fairs, Health Risk Assessments or Lectures create the evidence you need to get a wellness budget approved? What needs to happen in order to create a positive return on investment? The answers are more basic than most corporations realize. We will show you what actions you can take to create a measurable ROI with your wellness program, how to create sustainable behavioral change and how to get CFO approval for your next budget. Not tricks, no gimmicks! Just a workable and repeatable system that will create the behavior change that is measurable, sustainable and provable: the basic on the chain for creating positive ROI.

Succeeding in your business will require you to stay ahead of the curve and this is no different with your employee benefit plan. To offer a competitive, well-managed and financially sustainable plan will require you to look ahead and examine the trends that will impact you.

Since prescription drugs make up the majority of cost in an extended health care plan, this webinar will focus on drug trend and costs. It will provide you with a foundational understanding of the drug management landscape including a closer look at generic drugs, brand name patents and biologic drugs. Further, we will examine the government, brand manufacturers and insurance companies’ reaction to these trends. The goal of this presentation is to equip you with a better understanding of the drug management landscape so to help you strategize and manage your benefit plan.

Most wellness models usually depict wellness as having multiple domains or components. An examination of many, if not all, of these models depicts the model as having a mental, psychological or emotional health domain or component. Despite this, most worksite wellness programs today focus exclusively on physical health, completely neglecting the other domains. The ironic fact is that significant employer expense arises both directly and indirectly from mental health and substance use issues. This session will introduce attendees to the concept of workplace mental health promotion, a great companion approach to the more traditional workplace health promotion already very much in use today.
