A “How To” event designed to help Winnebago County employers partner with local providers to offer a rich benefits program that’s affordable.
The problem is that the healthcare system is stacked against you, causing your health insurance costs to skyrocket.
As a result, employers are controlling costs by shopping insurance carriers, raising deductibles, and asking employees to pay more.
During this event, you are going to learn about a program called Remodel Benefits. By the time it’s over, you will have the tools to partner with local providers to offer a richer benefits package that costs less than it does today.
This event is targeted for employers in and around Winnebago County who are frustrated with the cost of their health insurance program and are looking for a better solution.
