SUMMARY:A Fiduciary Approach to a Prudent Procurement Process
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nMost employers believe they are acting prudently when it comes to healthcare benefits. But in today’s market\, many long-standing procurement practices would not withstand true fiduciary scrutiny. \nThis discussion was recently presented at a Lehigh Valley SHRM program\, where it generated strong engagement and follow-up questions from HR and benefits leaders. Due to continued interest—and requests from those who were unable to attend—we’re offering this content as a live webinar to expand the conversation. \nThis webinar challenges HR and benefits leaders to reconsider how healthcare decisions are made\, and whether their current approach genuinely meets fiduciary standards. As healthcare costs surge and transparency remains limited\, relying on traditional carrier renewals\, opaque pricing structures\, and legacy vendor relationships exposes organizations to financial and fiduciary risk. \nAttendees will be pushed to rethink what “due diligence” really means in healthcare procurement and will be introduced to a more disciplined\, defensible framework for evaluating plans\, partners\, and pricing. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of where risk hides in plain sight\, and how to address it before costs\, outcomes\, or accountability suffer. \nKey Topics Include: \n\nWhy traditional healthcare procurement models fall short of fiduciary expectations\nThe hidden risks of passive renewals and misaligned vendor incentives\nWhat a truly prudent\, fiduciary-driven procurement process looks like in practice\nHow catastrophic claims and specialty drugs expose gaps in oversight\nChallenging the assumption that rising costs are inevitable or uncontrollable\nPractical steps to regain leverage\, transparency\, and defensibility in benefits decisions\n\n  \nSpeaker: \nNick Tranguch\, Chief Growth Officer\, BSI Corporate Benefits        \n\nNick serves as the Chief Growth Officer and is responsible for driving growth initiatives to expand the company’s market presence\, grow and diversify revenue and explore strategic opportunities that bring additional value to both BSI and our clients.

SUMMARY:Post–Open Enrollment & New Plan Year Compliance: The Hidden Risks Employers Miss
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nMost employers assume that once open enrollment ends\, the heavy lift is behind them. The reality is the highest compliance and financial risk actually occurs in the first 60–90 days of a new plan year. Misclassified employees\, overlooked ALE status\, late notices\, or other early-year oversights can trigger costly fines\, employee disputes\, or unexpected ACA-related budget impacts. \nIn this session\, we will challenge the traditional view of “OE as the finish line” and show why early-year oversight can cascade into compliance and financial issues if left unmanaged. We’ll unpack the blind spots even seasoned HR and finance teams often miss and introduce a proactive framework that keeps organizations ahead of regulatory requirements and budget surprises. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n\nThe Importance of Taking Stock and Learning from Mistakes\nGood Compliance Hygiene After Open Enrollment is Done\nCatching Problems Early and Averting Disasters Before They Happen\nDocumentation\, Recordkeeping\, and Planning for the Worst\nUpdating SPDs and Furnishing Post-enrollment Notices\nLooking Ahead and Upcoming Deadlines\n\nWalk away with a sharper understanding of the true compliance risk cycle\, how it intersects with ACA financial exposure\, and a clear\, guided roadmap to confidently navigate the new plan year. \n  \nSpeaker: \nTom Seltz \n\nCompliance Consultant\, Benefits Compliance Solutions (BCS)\n\nTom brings over 30 years of experience in health and welfare benefits and compliance\, with expertise in ERISA\, the Affordable Care Act\, HIPAA\, COBRA\, and more.
