Krista also highlights the importance of recognizing real wellness beyond its superficial portrayal on social platforms. Krista Martens points out that mental health plays a vital role in individuals' journey towards a healthy lifestyle.

They delve into the importance of long-term care insurance, the evolving landscape of in-home caregiving, and the need for human-centered design in the aging population.

Dr. Char Hu emphasizes the importance of long-term care insurance in ensuring a dignified aging experience. With the costs of in-home care, assisted living facilities, and skilled nursing facilities soaring, long-term care insurance provides financial security and peace of mind.

By prioritizing choice, dignity, and well-being, we can ensure that aging individuals can age in place with the support and resources they require. Another crucial aspect discussed in the episode is the limited coverage provided by Medicare for long-term care facilities and caregivers.

Matt Noe is a benefits consultant and business development executive at OneDigital with over 26 years of industry experience. Matt works with existing clients as well as develops new relationships in the challenged industry market. He works with employers to align their employee benefits programs with the employer’s goals and that high performing business leaders need to compete in the market. In January 2020, the Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) began to make waves in the group health marketplace. The ICHRA allows employers of all sizes to provide a tax-free health benefit to employees while allowing employees to select and purchase individual insurance policies that are suited to their unique needs. ICHRA can revolutionize the way businesses approach healthcare, offering a new solution for employers struggling with rising health insurance premiums. Matt Noe talks about ICHRA and its potential for reducing group health insurance costs. Matt believes that every employer has different objectives when it comes to ICHRA, and it's not always just about cost savings. Employers can modernize their approach to healthcare to attract and retain younger generations while still providing choices for Gen X and boomers. Matt also suggests that employers look at ICHRA from a global 3 to 5 year strategy and find a balance between employer objectives and cost savings. Education and communication are key in helping employees make informed decisions about their healthcare plan. Many employees have little knowledge of their current group health insurance plan and obtain information through utilization during open enrollment. Shifting the employee's understanding to know what they need and that it is different from others is simple. Although, the hardest part of ICHRA is not modeling benefits, but rather relating the information to employees who have never thought about health insurance before. Overall, ICHRA offers a new solution for employers who are tired of going through the same cycle every year to contain costs. It can help stabilize group health costs by putting employees in massive risk pools and offers various applications for businesses of any size. Employers who are challenged by the construct of their current medical plans and have reached a ceiling in certain states, regardless of vertical, become potential candidates for ICHRA. With ICHRA, healthcare should be treated like retirement plans, and employers should be given tools and a bucket of funds to make decisions on employee healthcare. Three Takeaways 1. Stabilize group health care costs. 2. Provide choices in health benefits. 3. Don’t be in the risk business. “The fact that an ICHRA plan has no participation requirement is a beautiful thing for a staffing firm..” - Matt Noe Resources Email Matt Noe: matt@mibenefits.world LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/matt-noe-251aab4a Email Mike Martens: mikem@firststaffbenefits.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/firststaffbenefits…

They highlight the most common mistakes made by individuals during the Medicare sign-up process and provide insights on how to avoid them. They also touch on the importance of understanding Medicare plans and representational carriers. Medicare is a great option for individuals over the age of 65 who need health insurance. The coverage is comprehensive and there are many different plans to choose from. However, it is important to remember that plans and coverage can change from year to year. This means that it is important to review the plan annually to make sure that it still meets the needs of the individual. Al explains that there are many mistakes that people can make when selecting a plan. He recommends that individuals seek help from someone who is knowledgeable about Medicare and can help them choose the best plan. He also points out that independent agents like himself do not charge for their services and can provide unbiased advice. He also continues to explain that telemedicine has become much more popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. This has allowed people to access medical care from the comfort of their own homes. Telemedicine can be a great time and money saver, and in some cases, even a lifesaver. Finally, Al emphasizes the importance of reviewing the plan annually. He warns that procrastinating or making the wrong decision could lead to permanent penalties. He encourages people to become knowledgeable about the different plans available and to seek help from an independent agent. Overall, it is important to review Medicare plans annually to ensure that the plan still meets the individual's needs. Doing research and speaking to an independent agent can help people make an informed decision and get the best coverage possible. Three Takeaways Review Medicare plans annually.

Todd Archer is the President of Concierge Third Party Administrator, a company recognized as one of the nation’s premier industry leaders in third-party administration of self-funded health benefit plans for employer groups of all sizes. With over 35 years of experience, Todd has a proven track record in the field of health benefits third-party administration. He joins Mike today to delve into the topic of reference-based pricing, a reimbursement approach that relies on Medicare allowable rates. They discuss the origins and evolution of this concept. Reference-based pricing (RBP) is gaining traction as an effective method for employers to reduce their healthcare expenses. This pricing model emerged as a solution to the flawed US healthcare system, where consumers often remain uninformed about the cost of treatments until after receiving them. RBP operates by establishing treatment prices based on Medicare allowables. This enables employers to pay a fixed amount for treatments instead of depending on the carrier's explanation of benefits. As a result, employers have a clear understanding of treatment costs upfront, allowing them to plan accordingly. Moreover, it empowers employers to negotiate better discounts with healthcare providers, as they are aware of the maximum payable amount. In summary, reference-based pricing offers employers a viable way to cut healthcare costs while maintaining quality care for their employees. This approach gives employers greater control over expenses, facilitates better discounts with providers, and ensures upfront knowledge of treatment costs, aiding in effective planning. Due to these advantages, reference-based pricing is becoming an increasingly sought-after option for employers looking to save on healthcare costs. Three Takeaways Reference-based pricing saves money. Implement RBP with care. Communicate effectively for success.

Stacy Barrow is a Partner at Barrow Weatherhead Lent LLP, and one of the nation’s leading experts on the Affordable Care Act. He uses a practical, business-focused approach to counsel his clients on all matters related to employee benefit plans. Today, Stacy and Mike discuss the complexities of mergers and acquisitions, particularly how two groups may end up a control group and the compliance requirements of such a situation. When it comes to mergers and acquisitions, it is important to pay attention to control groups. Control groups are created when two groups come together, and they require companies to be treated as a single unit for certain purposes of federal tax law and ERISA. This allows a single entity, treated as a single employer for ERISA purposes, to offer a single employer group health plan. There are various types of control groups. A parent-subsidiary control group is typically created when one company purchases all the stock of another, or at least 80% of it. Brother-sister control groups also require at least 80% common ownership between five or fewer of the same individuals, trusts, or estates. Additionally, there are affiliated service groups or management organizations, which can exist at an ownership of less than 80%, down to 25% or even 0%. From an HR and benefits professional perspective, they can merge the health plans into one of the existing company's plans. It is also important to pay attention to 401K plans, as there may be certain yellow flags that need to be addressed. Overall, it is important to pay attention to control groups when it comes to mergers and acquisitions. Understanding the various types of control groups, and what their implications can be, is key to ensuring a smooth transition. Three Takeaways Stay in front of your client’s acquisition.

In this episode, Mike and Kyle discuss the health care policy landscape, the impact of ICHRA on the individual market, and how employers can benefit from options like the QSEHRA. The Individual Coverage HRA (ICHRA) is a relatively new concept in the world of health care that is empowering employers to take control of their health care costs. ICHRA is a type of health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) that allows employers to provide their employees with tax-free reimbursements for health care expenses. The ICHRA was introduced in 2020, but its predecessor, the Qualified Small Employer HRA (QSEHRA), has been in existence since 2017. ICHRA is beneficial for employers because it gives them more control over their health care costs. Employers are able to customize their plans to meet the needs of their employees, rather than relying on the group market for their coverage. This allows employers to provide more cost-effective coverage to their employees and to tailor their plans to meet the specific needs of their workforce. Overall, the ICHRA program is a great option for employers looking to provide their employees with more choice and access to care. It is cost-effective, provides more options and stability, and allows employers to provide their employees with the coverage they need. Three Takeaways Shop for the best health plan.
