About this Event
Every year, premiums go up. And most employers feel like there's nothing they can do about it.
There is.
Join us for a 3-hour working session where Maine HR professionals and benefits leaders come together to cut through the noise and walk away with a real action plan. No vendor pitches — just honest, practical insight from people who've been in the trenches.
In one morning, you'll:
- Get a clear picture of where the healthcare market is headed and what it means for your organization
- Understand your funding options — fully-insured, level-funded, captive, self-funded — and which might be right for your size and risk tolerance
- Know what to watch for when evaluating TPAs, PBMs, and point solutions (and the questions most employers forget to ask)
- Learn how to use your own data to set a strategy and measure what's working
- Leave with a list of cost-saving tools and tactics you can act on immediately — for employers of any size
We'll start with a networking breakfast, so you'll also leave with a room full of peers who are wrestling with the same challenges.
Who this is for:
If you're an HR professional or benefits decision-maker at an organization with 50+ employees on your health plan — and you're tired of accepting premium increases as a fact of life — this event was built for you.
Free for HPA members and 3 SHRM PDCs.
