Webinar: Medicare Advantage: HR6331 Strategies and Implications  - The future for health plans under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008

Thursday, August 28 at 1PM Eastern

The Congress just enacted Medicare legislation that has major implications for Medicare Advantage and Part D private plans. In addition to cutting funding for MA plans to finance a physician fee increase for eighteen months, MA Private Fee for Service (PFFS) plans and Special Needs plans will face major operational changes in the next few years. Part D plans will also encounter new coverage and operational requirements, including requirements for E prescribing.

Complimentary Webinar from The Principal Financial Group: An Analysis of the Group Benefit Employee Enrollment Process and Strategies to Keep Ahead of Growing Trends  
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 at 1PM Eastern

A fundamental shift is occurring within group benefits. The employer-provided benefit model is giving way to employer-sponsored benefits. Brokers and employers must understand why this shift is occurring and position themselves properly during enrollment time and beyond to ensure employees are properly educated to make election decisions.
