Description:
An in-depth study of the causes of higher group health premiums, but most important, what to do about it -- how to lower health premiums WITHOUT reducing employee net coverage. Case studies show that 20% of employees will have 80% of the medical claims. Learn how to make the Pareto Curve (the 80/20 rule) work for your client's benefit. Specific examples of how changes in deductibles, co-pays, etc. make a big difference in net cost to the employer are included in this program. Side-by-side comparisons will show whether an HSA or HRA is better, for what type of client, and when should it (or they) be implemented (you can have both).
Objectives:
- Identify situations where HSAs and HRAs can be useful
- Calculate the potential benefit from HSAs and HRAs
- Explain how HSAs and HRAs work (you don't want your competitor to provide these new tax-savings concepts)
- Provide necessary compliance services in connection with such plans
Major Topics:
- How a Health Savings Plan works
- How a Health Reimbursement Plan works
- How HSAs and HRAs can integrate with Flexible Spending Arrangements
Who Should Attend:
Accountants in public/private practice with clients or employers who want to reduce the costs of group health care programs.

None
