8:00am - 10:00am

White Plains, NY

Non-Members: $45

As healthcare spending and insurance premiums continue to climb, employers are under increasing pressure to manage costs while offering competitive benefits that attract and retain top talent. This timely discussion will examine the key drivers of rising healthcare costs, increasing deductibles and employee cost-sharing, and the broader impact these trends are having on businesses, healthcare providers, and the workforce. Industry leaders, employers, healthcare providers, and benefits experts will share practical strategies organizations are implementing to control healthcare expenses without compromising the quality of employee benefits.

The conversation will explore innovative solutions to improve affordability, expand access to care, and support employee health and well-being, while also examining the downstream effects of rising out-of-pocket costs. As more individuals delay or forgo preventive care, specialty treatment, and prescription medications because of affordability concerns, providers are seeing the consequences through delayed diagnoses, worsening health outcomes, and increased reliance on emergency care. Panelists will discuss how employers, insurers, providers, and policymakers can work together to address these challenges while advancing a more sustainable and accessible healthcare system.

Whether you are an employer, benefits professional, healthcare provider, insurer, or business leader, this forum will provide valuable insights into one of the most pressing issues facing today’s workforce and economy.
