Face of Change

Features
Catalyst for Payment Reform's Suzanne Delbanco addresses the challenges health care consolidation is creating for employers.
Health care M&A expert Torrey McClary expects merger activity among hospital systems to heat back up after the pandemic.
Mike Thompson of the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Colations reflects on how employers are disrupting the health care supply chain.
The accelerating pace of mergers in the benefits space will leave a lot of good talent looking for a new home, says Mike Sullivan of OneDigital.
The benefits industry's Seth Denson weighs in on what it will take brokers to be successful in the coming years.
More employers are helping workers tap into neurodiversity benefits to help their children with ADHD, dyslexia and other conditions.
Self-funded plans and the entire industry now faces accelerated systemic change, thanks to the biggest health crisis in recent history.
Letter from the Editor
No matter how quickly we adapt, it's never quite enough.
Action/Reaction
Looking to make your benefits agency stand out from the pack? Here are a few key ingredients.
Columinsts
Employers who have a significant portion of their workforce accessing their system remotely have opened up their data to new risks.
It's not required, but it's a great way to nudge plan sponsors in the right direction of better understanding.
When it comes to sales distribution by segment, all segments except the classics and career agents saw increases this year.
Just as you maintain a pipeline of prospects, you should do the same with potential candidates.
