Fiduciary In A Box

Many employers are familiar with Transparency in Coverage and the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), but far fewer understand what these requirements actually mean for them as plan fiduciaries.

This practical webinar will cut through the complexity and focus on what employers need to know, what they should be asking their vendors and advisors, and where potential gaps may exist. Participants will also be introduced to a practical tool designed to help employers assess their responsibilities and take action to be prepared.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand key employer fiduciary responsibilities under Transparency in Coverage and the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA)
• Identify potential compliance and fiduciary gaps in current health plan oversight, vendor relationships and processes
• Apply a practical tool to assess responsibilities, ask the right questions, and identify actionable next steps

Fiduciary in a Box (FIAB) helps employers bring order to healthcare complexity by organizing contracts and agreements, service providers, and decisions into a clear, defensible system that supports prudent stewardship and audit readiness.

Employer Health Benefits Trends & Priorities

We are pleased to release the full report which highlights employer perspectives on threats to health care affordability, pharmacy benefit strategies, fiduciary concerns, support for health policy reform, as well as other important topics.

• The full MBGH report is accessible to MBGH members.
• National results may be requested on the National Alliance webpage.

Key findings include:

• Rising health care costs are creating significant challenges for employers, with 100% indicating that it will affect their ability to remain competitive, and 81% expecting to shift more costs to employees.
• 98% said that health and well-being benefits will be critical to attracting and retaining employees.
• Drug prices and high-cost claims are causing the most significant threats to affordability with 9 in 10 employers calling high drug prices a significant threat.
• Employers continue to face significant challenges in obtaining claims data from their vendors. 38% have partners who refuse to provide complete access to data.
