NEEDHAM, Mass., Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Validation Institute, the only organization that vets and verifies the performance claims of healthcare solution providers, and the Houston Business Coalition on Health (HBCH), announced the final agenda today for Health Benefits Nation, a three-day event taking place September 26-28, at the Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria.
Health Benefits Nation focuses on three overarching themes including innovations in self-funding, whole-person health and well-being, and benefits adviser leadership strategies. Attendees have the opportunity to hear directly from employers and benefits purchasers who have implemented healthcare programs that significantly improve outcomes and maximize savings.
In addition to gaining actionable strategies to take control of rising healthcare costs and navigating coverage for expensive GLP-1 drugs, the event also offers a deep-dive workshop on meeting fiduciary obligations plan sponsors now have as a result of the looming Consolidation Appropriations Act (CAA).
"HBCH is pleased to support Health Benefits Nation and the agenda is chock-full of sessions that will resonate with employers seeking value in the purchase of their health benefits," said Chris Skisak, PhD, HBCH President. "Two locally oriented sessions will highlight the importance of direct contracting alongside the existing preferred provider organization, and another on how to best incorporate health equity into benefits design."
Haritha Krishnarathnam, VP of Strategy and Content, Validation Institute, said "Employers are faced with the arduous task of keeping their employees happy, healthy, and engaged while containing rising healthcare costs. It is time for HR and Benefits leaders to move away from traditional models of care and redesign their benefit plans to positively impact their workforce and the bottom line. I am thrilled to collaborate with healthcare's leading disruptors who will be sharing their valuable insights at this event."

"Spending time attending Health Benefits Nation allows me to connect with other HR professionals who are tired of the traditional healthcare system where nothing changes and the costs are always going up while the quality of care goes down. Why should your company continue to pay more for less for healthcare benefits when there are proven solutions and strategies that work to maintain quality care while maintaining control of your company's spend? You don't want to miss this conference where you can learn from amazing thought leaders in the healthcare space," said Stephanie Koch, Director of Human Resources, Hendry Marine Industries. Ms. Koch is part of the 2023 speaking faculty and will discuss how HR executives can (should) transform into healthcare changemakers.
