Never before have employers been faced with so many uncertainties over the provision – or non-provision – of retiree healthcare benefits.

World Research Group's National Retiree Healthcare Forum, will tackle the pertinent challenges impacting employers with regard to retiree healthcare coverage and answer the burning questions and unknowns surrounding Healthcare Reform and the economic factors that are compelling employers to re-think current practices and policies over employer sponsored retiree healthcare coverage. The conference program will specifically delve into and provide answers to:

• Develop legal, yet responsible, Exit Strategies
• Begin to develop an action plan to transition retirees to Health Insurance Exchanges
• Transition current pre-65 retirees into affordable, individual healthcare coverage plans
• Combine incentives, information, and accountability to enable retirees to improve their health status
• Measure the value of the Affordable Care Act and Medicare reform
• Demonstrate reductions in unfunded accrued actuarial liability of retiree healthcare plans
• Explore solutions to Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB)

Learn from the Leaders

Additionally, learn innovative strategies and cost-reduction initiatives that leading PERS and private sector employers are deploying to curb retiree healthcare costs, including how:

• New Hampshire Senator Harold Janeway spearheaded the nation's first state wide adoption of a Retiree Medical Trust
