Employer Only Meeting: 9:45 - 10:30 am

Will employers continue to stay the course or move to private exchanges?

Using Mercer survey results as background we will talk about employers' long-term benefit strategy by exploring new benefit options and approaches to total health management.

We will also take a closer look at the use of high-deductible health plans, a strategy to lower costs and get employees engaged in managing their own healthcare budgets. Having to pay for out-of-pocket means employees will likely think twice about using services they may not need.

But does this also mean that employees are delaying or forgoing much-needed care?

And will employers pay a price for this in the future?

Truven has analyzed large sets of data, and will engage in a discussion with us of the pros and cons of high-deductible health plans.
