2022 medical captive forum | may 18th & 19th | cleveland, ohio
Roundstone’s Medical Captive Forum (MCF) was created to bring employers and benefits advisors together to learn more about self-funding best practices and trends. Educational at its heart, the MCF dives deep into the current health insurance marketplace to find solutions that save employers money while enriching their employee benefits programs.
After our 2021 virtual forum, we are thrilled to be hosting this year’s event live in downtown Cleveland, near our Lakewood headquarters. We’re excited to welcome both employers (HR, CFO, and CEO executives) and benefits advisors to learn about the latest trends and strategies in health insurance and healthcare, particularly around self-funding, cost containment solutions, and employee wellness programs.
We will simplify and demystify self-funding and help our audience to navigate their journey, whether they are just learning or are actively a captive participant and have been self-funding for years.
MCF 2022 was action-packed with perspectives from experts and leaders in the industry across a range of educational and top-of-mind topics. Watch the main stage sessions now on-demand and stay tuned for the breakout session topics as educational webinars this summer.
9:00 am-11:45 am: Morning Main Stage Discussions
Marshall Allen (author of Never Pay the First Bill: And Other Ways to Fight the Health Care System and Win) will be joined by Chas Roades (co-founder and CEO of Gist Healthcare) in a special discussion moderated by Thomas Campanella (Healthcare Executive-in-Residence at Baldwin Wallace).
It’s a classic David and Goliath story. Small and midsize businesses all around the country up against the massive and complex healthcare system. In this power-panel to kick off our day, Marshall and Chas will present practical ways that employers can “flip the script” and gain control, reduce costs and empower employees to be smarter consumers of healthcare. This discussion will give you the blueprint and the tools for rethinking your health benefits program.
It’s a can’t-miss meeting of the minds we can’t wait to host!
Every employer who makes the switch to a self-funded plan has a different journey. But we can say for certain that there’s always an a-ha moment. In this keynote, you will learn the questions to ask, the things to look out for, the impact on employees and the business, and other meaningful insights from employers and advisors who have successfully made the switch.
In this keynote panel discussion, you will hear perspectives from employers in the Roundstone captive along with their benefits advisors.
