Rising costs, concentrated claims, and a shifting stop‑loss market are prompting employers to reassess how they fund and manage benefits. Join our cross‑disciplinary panel for a practical mid‑year update on where things stand and what to do about it.

We'll cover:

  • How high‑cost claimants affect medical trends and what it means for plan design
  • Alternative funding options like self‑funding and captives
  • Pharmacy pressures from specialty drugs, PBM dynamics, and ways to manage spend
  • Stop‑loss market outlook for pricing and volatility protection
  • Clinical perspective on condition patterns, catastrophic-claim prevention, and cost management opportunities

Whether you're rethinking your funding approach or planning for 2027, this conversation may help you evaluate options and next steps.
