Please join the Board for breakfast on September 20, 2007 and listen to this month’s topic: Making Sense of HRA, FSA, 401k's

Consumer Directed Health: Making Sense of HRA’s, HSA’s and FSA’s
Healthcare costs are rising at breakneck speed, and employers are being crushed under the weight of these new challenges. Consumer directed health plans have emerged as a viable option to cut costs while still providing employees with the benefits and security they expect. Sure, these plans can potentially save you money, but are they right for your company, and are you aware of their key compliance implications?

This discussion will review how the consumer directed model works, the impact consumerism can have on healthcare decisions and spending, lessons learned from early adopters, and an insider’s overview of new government initiatives to make CDHPs more attractive for employers and employees alike.
