First, the good news: the rate of growth for health benefit costs has slowed over the past three years! However, health costs are still increasing at double the rate of inflation. In fact, a recent employee benefits survey shows that nearly 84% of mid and large size employers will need to make substantial changes to their benefit offerings over the next three years.

On June 10th, join Beth Ercolini, Vice President and Senior Advisor at Ascension for part one of this complimentary webinar series. She’ll share market trends and solutions to manage future health care costs, including Consumer Directed Health Plans, Value Based Networks and Accountable Care Organizations (ACO).
