Benefits Sales Strategies

Health insurers won a victory in 2015 when a tax that was part of the Affordable Care Act was suspended. Now as they fight to repeal or delay the tax again before it comes back into effect, the odds dont seem to be in their favor.

But many health plans are not maximizing their potential by proactively marketing their offerings to consumers and most are falling short when it comes to successfully addressing provider integration and access to care for their members.

Employers are shifting their focus from traditional cost control methods.

It seems benefits professionals can't say enough about the value they derive from industry organizations and events.
