Founder’s Statement<br />
The Taben Group was founded in 1990 as a “boutique” provider of COBRA and Direct Billing<br />
administration. Our first clients were large national employers frustrated by the lack of high quality<br />
outsourcing options in this cumbersome area of benefits administration.<br />
Taben’s mission is to provide high quality, “Get it right the 1st time” outsourcing services to every<br />
client, every day . We accomplish this mission by combining a passion for excellence with proven<br />
technology and 22+ years of benefit outsourcing experience.<br />
Thank you for considering Taben as your COBRA, Direct Billing and Flexible <strong>Benefits</strong> administrator.<br />

Dear Delegates,<br />
Welcome to the 4th Annual <strong>Employer</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> and <strong>Benefits</strong> <strong>Congress</strong>!<br />
This year’s conference will be the best one yet. The exhibit hall will be jammed packed with brokers, carriers, HR<br />
professionals and other senior level executives seeking innovative solutions in an ever changing business landscape.<br />
The speaking and educational sessions will feature some of today’s leading thinkers and will offer valuable insights<br />
into navigating the complex and ever changing elements of competition, compliance, and reform. This is the place<br />
to be to position your organization for the future and to share common challenges and useful practices with industry<br />
experts.<br />
If you are looking to invest in yourself and advance your career why not take part in one of the certification sessions<br />
offered at the congress? Set yourself apart as a specialist certified by the leading organization in the industry. Stop<br />
by the certification desk at any time during the conference and sign up for one of the four sessions before they are<br />
sold out!<br />
This year our conference is integrated with the Medical Tourism Conference as more employers implement domestic<br />
& international medical tourism. Technology and advancements have virtually shrunk the world. Individuals seeking<br />
quality care at affordable prices have been crossing borders in ever increasing numbers. As employers seek to<br />
expand benefits and contain costs, health and wellness travel will become necessary and practical solutions. It has<br />
already begun with forward thinking companies such as Lowes, Pepsi, Wal-Mart and other organizations leading the<br />
way across the globe.<br />
The EHBC is the catalyst for building relationships and the networking platform is your vehicle. Log in, upload and<br />
start connecting! Whether you are an employer seeking to improve benefits and contain costs, a service provider<br />
offering cutting edge solutions, a consultant seeking access to new clients or anyone interested in learning about the<br />
most innovative approaches to employee health and wellness the networking possibilities are infinite!<br />
Our event next year will be held in Las Vegas! So plan ahead on attending the 5th Annual <strong>Employer</strong> <strong>Healthcare</strong> and<br />
<strong>Benefits</strong> <strong>Congress</strong>, held November 2nd through the 6th.<br />
We would like to thank all our speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, members, and the advisory board who helped this event<br />
possible.<br />

Cost Transparency Strategies to Empower <strong>Employer</strong> Members<br />
to Influence Behavior<br />
REGENCY BALLROOM 2<br />
HEALTHCARE REFORM<br />
The Affordable Care Act creates a new marketplace for individuals and small employers to purchase health<br />
insurance, known as “exchanges.” The exchanges will be operated by states or, if the states are unwilling or<br />
unable to set up an exchange, the Federal government. Not to be outdone, many private organizations have<br />
begun establishing private exchanges that will serve a broader audience and compete with the state and<br />
Federal exchanges. In this session, you will learn:<br />
• What is an exchange and who is eligible for coverage under the exchanges,<br />
• What types of benefits will be offered through the exchanges,<br />
• Whether the exchanges will prove to be an effective means of delivering insurance,<br />
• Whether the private exchanges might prove to be a viable alternative to the state/federal exchanges or<br />
to coverage outside of the exchanges.<br />

Younger workers have an appetite for choice and personalization. Older workers have never needed<br />
protection more than they do today.<br />
• Gen X and Gen Y value individualizing and personalizing what coverage’s they have. They grew up<br />
in a world of co-pays and deductibles and are more willing to pay for the protections and services that<br />
are meaningful to them.<br />
• This presentation will address how employers can tap into this relatively recent phenomenon and<br />
leverage voluntary and workplace strategies to help attract and retain younger talent.<br />
• Baby Boomers are planning to delay retirement and stay in the workforce longer. Retiring at 70,<br />
rather than 60 exposes the working baby boomer to far greater morbidity and mortality risks. In short,<br />
protection has never been more critical for boomers.<br />
• This presentation will show how employers can help older workers be better financially protected by<br />
extending core offers through voluntary and worksite solutions, while at the same time protecting<br />
themselves from potential increased benefits costs associated with older employees.<br />

The Affordable Care Act enacted a number of insurance market reforms intended to expand insurance<br />
coverage. Many of these provisions are already effective for employer-sponsored health plans, and many<br />
more could become effective on the date these plans lose grandfathered status. In this session, you will<br />
learn:<br />
• Which insurance mandates already apply to all plans (including the adult child coverage requirement<br />
and the prohibition on preexisting condition exclusions for children)<br />
• Which insurance mandates apply to plans that have lost grandfathered status (including the revised<br />

This session serves as an overview to Dr. Dee Edington’s book “Zero Trends: Health as a Serious Economic<br />
Strategy.” Zero Trends is organized into three primary sections: The Mission, The Business Case, and The<br />
Solution. Companies that embrace the transformational concepts will be rewarded financially by zero cost<br />
trends, increased effectiveness in the workplace, increased health status of the workforce, and will become<br />
a best place to work.<br />
Poor health is a serious threat to our way of life as individuals, businesses and to our economy. The action<br />
needed now requires a serious individual, business and economic strategy to reverse past and current ways<br />
of thinking and our use of resources. The suggestions in “Zero Trends” and in this session are presented<br />
as a challenge to all to find a new level of thinking to address the threats imposed by poor and worsening<br />
health. The comments and suggestions may be irritating or challenging to some. The intention is to raise<br />
the bar for success and thereby challenge those companies willing to make the transformation necessary to<br />
become champion companies.<br />
This session will also include a real life example of incorporating these concepts into its wellness programs.<br />

Employees bring their health status to work. In addition to driving benefit costs, health-related issues<br />
increase production costs in the form of higher rates of absenteeism, presenteeism, overtime, work-related<br />
injuries, and disability. The health and wellness of the workforce has a direct connection to an employer’s<br />
financial results.<br />
This session demonstrates how one employer was able to use an innovative health scoring tool to enable<br />
their clinical health coach to identify at-risk employees sooner than traditional predictive modeling tools.<br />
WVUH’s initiative is a model for how early identification and effective coaching positively impacts employee<br />
health and wellness, reduces absenteeism, enhances employee engagement and controls rising health<br />
care costs. Participants in this session will learn how to:<br />
• Demonstrate potential value<br />

Boosting Employee Wellness through Social Media<br />
As the younger generation permeates the workforces and organization’s older generations become<br />
more tech savvy, employees are spending more and more time on their mobile devices and social media<br />
websites. More and more employers are looking for innovative ways to effectively communicate with their<br />
employees as well as engage employees. The social nature of products like Facebook and Twitter can be<br />
harnessed to help people become more engaged in their wellness programs, and more successful as they<br />
try to improve their health. It helps to create healthy competition within the workforce by creating social<br />
accountability which helps employees to stay on track and meet their health goals.<br />
This session will explore the many ways employers can leverage social media (ie: daily health coaching text<br />
messages, online journals, discussion groups, public forums) to increase participation in their corporate<br />
wellness programs by sharing with their colleagues their health goals, improvements and success.<br />

DIPLOMAT BALLROOM 2 SPONSORED BY US WELLNESS INC. | CORPORATE WELLNESS<br />
<strong>Employer</strong>s have recognized the role of incentive-driven health and wellness programming as an added benefit<br />
to increase participation. However, participation alone is not closely aligned with improved health outcomes<br />
or cost savings. Outcomes-based incentives, in which employees are rewarded based on achieving a certain<br />
health factor has increasingly shown to have a direct correlation to improved health outcomes. The goal of the<br />
discussion will be to identify and illustrate best practices and pitfalls in creating outcomes-based incentives<br />
within the wellness paradigm. The discussion includes forms of incentives, tools for measuring outcomes over<br />
time and case studies showing ROI in outcomes-based models. Key points include:<br />
• Provide a foundation of the relationship between health and wellness programs and outcomes-based<br />
incentive programming<br />
• Provide a comparison between participation-based and outcomes-based incentives<br />
• Share analytical methodology used in measuring effectiveness outcomes-based efforts<br />
• Provide case studies of employers successfully using outcomes-based programs<br />

Level Up! How Games Are Getting Employees Off the Couch<br />
REGENCY BALLROOM 2 CORPORATE WELLNESS<br />
Businesses know that they need a wellness program that works, but too often health screenings and pamphlets<br />
aren’t enough to reach the employees who need to get well, and cash incentives can produce only momentary<br />
engagement. What employers need is a way to kick start new, long-lasting, healthy habits and behaviors. In<br />
short, they need to make wellness fun.<br />
Fun is exactly what businesses get when they decide to ditch the pamphlets and get behind a game for<br />
wellness. A social wellness game not only engages a huge percentage of employees, it keeps them coming<br />
back for more points and slimmer waistlines - encouraging healthy habits from taking the stairs to sleeping<br />
more and eating less. <strong>Employer</strong>s will get a healthier, happier, more productive workforce and employees will<br />
get a wellness program that gives them the tools, incentives and support to get healthy. This discussion will<br />
include:<br />
• Why wellness programs are a strategic priority for your business<br />
• How social wellness engages employees and yields real results<br />
• Why teams are important to a successful wellness program<br />

Life of Long Term Care After the CLASS Act<br />
DIPLOMAT BALLROOM 1 VOLUNTARY BENEFITS<br />
The CLASS Act was intended to be a Government Sponsored, Voluntary Program designed to protect working<br />
American’s from the basic costs of Long Term Care. After much debate and analysis, it was determined that<br />
this program was not sustainable as designed, and the program was curtailed.<br />
The dialogue surrounding the CLASS Act did much to raise awareness of this important protection, but how<br />
to address this risk remains a challenge for all constituents. Many <strong>Employer</strong>s are still contemplating their role<br />
in this subject matter, despite the fact that Long Term Care needs can impact Corporate wellness initiatives,<br />

Value Based Medical & Prescription Design<br />
REGENCY BALLROOM 2<br />
SELF FUNDING<br />
Value based purchasing (VBP) is a means by which progressive employers can create an environment<br />
to stimulate the continuous improvement of the quality, safety and efficiency (i.e. value) of care. They<br />
can do this by joining with like-minded payers and providers to follow the six principles and practices of<br />
value based purchasing first published 25 years ago. In cooperation with payers and their employees,<br />
employers need to augment these VBP practices with Value Based Insurance Design. By rewarding the<br />
health conscious and more cost effective clinical decision making of their employees, dependents and<br />
retirees (whose health care costs they subsidize), employers may use VBID to enhance their VBP programs<br />
and their results, and vice versa.<br />
Keynote Objectives:<br />
• Understand why the ultimate goal of value-based purchasing (VBP) is to improve continuously the<br />
quality, safety and efficiency of healthcare services delivered to specific populations.<br />
• Discuss how VBP differs from Value Based Insurance Design (VBID).<br />
• Examine a new way of employer leadership engagement and strategic thinking in the C-Suite so that<br />
employers can continue to champion and sustain VBP and VBID<br />
• Identify innovative strategies for employers in their enlightened self interest to be leaders in VBP and<br />
VBID.<br />

How <strong>Employer</strong>s Evaluate, Select, Enroll & Administer<br />
Voluntary <strong>Benefits</strong><br />
DIPLOMAT BALLROOM 1 VOLUNTARY BENEFITS<br />
The process of selecting a voluntary benefit varies from organization to organization and size of the<br />
organization. Internal benefits needs assessment is usually carried out by HR after taking into account<br />
the needs of employees and desired change the HR like to accomplish. Once the needs assessment is<br />
done, there will be a process that includes an RFI or straight to an RFP (with plan design details). The<br />
procurement process also varies. The public sector procurement process is quite different from the private<br />
sector. After the due selection process, the benefit carrier will have detailed implementation meeting<br />
with HR to go through a project implementation plan that includes—communication, enrollment, payroll<br />
interface, reconciliation, premium payments etc. The evaluation is a continuous process to see that the<br />
benefits offered are in line with the HR goals as well business strategy.<br />

Today, 170 million Americans get their health insurance through their employer. Another 15 million buy<br />
it on their own. However, there are 51 million Americans without any health insurance and another 22<br />
million deemed” under-insured.” While the future of health care reform’s Affordable Care Act is filled with<br />
uncertainty, one thing is crystal clear: the healthcare and insurance landscape is set to undergo massive<br />
transformation. Anticipating and prepare for this change will separate winners from losers. Forwardthinking<br />
marketers need to be armed with intelligence to assess impact and make informed decisions for<br />
managing their future.<br />
• Market Trends – Examination of critical issues facing healthcare consumers, payers and providers,<br />
from economic pressures to care delivery challenges to an aging population.<br />
• Customer Segments – Health reform means millions of new potential patients gain access to health<br />
benefits – who are they and what do they look like.<br />
• Marketing Remix – Consumers (aka customers) are in control; they’re talking about you, reviewing<br />
you, and price checking you. They have a choice, and marketers need to adjust to the new rules.<br />
• Opportunity Runway – Prepare innovative approaches to capture opportunity in tomorrow’s reformed<br />
environment where headwinds/tailwinds mean differentiating your value proposition.<br />

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 establishes minimum standards and<br />
requirements for retirement, health, and other welfare benefit plans, including life insurance, disability<br />
insurance, and other voluntary benefit programs. ERISA’s extensive rules address the federal income<br />
tax effects of transactions associated with employee benefit plans, with mandates that qualified plans<br />
must follow to ensure that plan fiduciaries do not misuse plan assets. Relative to voluntary benefits, many<br />
employers do not understand the benefits ERISA provides them and protects under federal laws versus<br />
state laws.<br />
Does ERISA matter? Hear from leading experts on the pro’s and con’s of voluntary benefit programs being<br />
subject to ERISA. Also, hear the do’s and don’ts on how voluntary benefit programs become subject to<br />
ERISA and see the reasoning on why ERISA matters.<br />

SPONSORED BY AMERICAN OPTOMETRIC ASSOCIATION (AOA)<br />
Eye care provided by optometrists is cost-effective and of the highest quality. Comprehensive vision<br />
and eye healthcare services should be provided as a core primary care component of any health care<br />
delivery model and health plan. In cases of non-emergent eye care provided by non-eye care providers<br />
such as ERs, patients are often misdiagnosed and the wrong drugs are often prescribed. This represents<br />
duplicative costs and waste. Seeing optometrists for non-emergent eye care results in cost savings and<br />
better health outcomes.<br />
