North Star SHRM will be hosting a seminar titled: Myths & Misconceptions About Employer Health Plans. It will be held at Great River Energy (17845 East Highway 10, Elk River) on Wednesday, April 10, 2019 from 8 am to 9:30 am. All North Star SHRM members are invited to attend. In addition, all Elk River, Monticello, and I-94 West Chamber members are invited to attend. There is no cost to attend.
The target audience for this seminar is HR professionals and any small business owners. Although many popular ideas about medical plans are based on truths, the complicated issues involved are often misunderstood or over simplified to the point of being false or misleading. A favorite among attendees, this seminar seeks to provide a deeper understanding of how many decisions plan sponsors make often have unforeseen and detrimental consequences.
Objectives:
- Why you should trust the solutions the industry is providing for increased costs
- Why your spouses don’t cost what you think and why spousal programs don’t work
- Why your medical plan is managing the wrong population’s health
