The Affordable Care Act has changed the landscape for health insurance for every employer in Minnesota and while some parts of the law have been delayed, others are moving forward as scheduled. To bring businesses up to speed on the law’s requirements, Greater Mankato Growth is bringing in top experts on health care reform. This full day seminar will provide you with the tools you need to make critical decisions to comply with the law while managing costs and providing sound benefits to employees. Businesses small and large will get complete information and advice on the legal requirements of the law, the various purchasing options available to employers, the role of the new state health insurance exchange (MNsure), the ways that coverage premiums will be determined, options that exist for small business and self-insured employers and employees, as well as analytics tools to help businesses make the most fiscally prudent choices. Sign up on this site by August 15. On site registration is also accepted.
