For Employers, Health Benefits Consultants, Policy Makers and Employer Coalition Leaders

The heated debate this summer didn't shed much light on important reforms embedded in the health care proposals that affect employer-based health and wellness programs. People like you are asking:

• How are employers innovating now to keep employees healthy? What incentives are employers using, and how will regulations and reform change that?
• Are HIPAA caps on incentives only the first sign of regulatory changes to come?
• What innovations are employers using to maximize access to primary care?
• What is on the policy horizon for worksite wellness and disease management programs?

After a 40-minute presentation, you'll have an opportunity to interact with the speakers during a 20-minute Q&A period.

Your registration fee includes the full survey report "How Employers Use Incentives to Keep Employees Healthy: Perks, Programs & Peers" and the Webinar.

During the Webinar, you'll learn:

• "How employers use incentives to keep employees healthy: perks, programs & peers." Discover insights from this in-depth Health2Resources survey, now in its third year. Webinar participants will receive a FREE copy of the full survey report.
• The status of the health care reform debate and proposed legislation. How will the new regulatory landscape affect benefit plan design, innovative payment models and wellness programs?
• Proposals for comparative effectiveness and other health-related research. How will this new emphasis on research and effectiveness impact employers, policy makers, and wellness/benefit consultants?
• Other regulatory movement with the potential to affect employer health and wellness programs and value-based purchasing models. Will new Americans with Disabilities Act rulings regarding wellness and disease management programs change how employers use incentives? What changes can employers expect when rules for the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act are announced?
