Nearly a thousand people registered to learn more about self-funded solutions for quality and affordable group health insurance. Roundstone President Mike Schroeder kicked off the day by welcoming attendees from all over the country: owners of small and mid-sized business; CFOs, CEOs, and HR leaders; forward-thinking insurance advisors looking for better ways to deliver better group health insurance benefits to their clients, and solution provider partners across the healthcare ecosystem.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>When the forum was started 7 years ago, the objective was to create an educational event to share ways to leverage data, deliver transparency, and encourage employees to be smarter consumers of healthcare. We\u2019ve remained true to this mission as you can see by the relevant agenda presented for MCF 2021.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Our aim this year was to raise the game. And raise it we did! We\u2019re delighted at the response and feedback that we received.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Whether you missed out or wanted to experience some or all of the event again, here\u2019s a run-down of the Medical Captive Forum as well as access to on-demand videos of the sessions.<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2><strong>Navigating the Self Funded Journey for Group Health Insurance<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Every year, Roundstone looks to include real experiences from our customers who have chosen to make the switch to a self-funded group health insurance plan. This year\u2019s panel focused on the journey to self-funding \u2013 what it\u2019s like at the very beginning and what to expect after your first year and beyond. The conversation, moderated by Phil M Jones, our keynote speaker all the way from the UK, was exceptional. Each employer was paired with his advisor, to give insights on the nature of that relationship, and to offer their unique perspectives.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_13982\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13982\" class=\"wp-image-13982 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/roundstoneinsurance.com\/excelsior\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-MCF-Navigating-the-Self-Funded-Journey-1920x840-1-1024x448.jpg\" alt=\"2021 MCF Navigating Self-Funded Group Health Insurance Panel\" width=\"1024\" height=\"448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roundstoneinsurance.com\/excelsior\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-MCF-Navigating-the-Self-Funded-Journey-1920x840-1-1024x448.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roundstoneinsurance.com\/excelsior\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-MCF-Navigating-the-Self-Funded-Journey-1920x840-1-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roundstoneinsurance.com\/excelsior\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-MCF-Navigating-the-Self-Funded-Journey-1920x840-1-768x336.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roundstoneinsurance.com\/excelsior\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2021-MCF-Navigating-the-Self-Funded-Journey-1920x840-1.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Employers and advisors discuss their self funded journey with moderator Phil M Jones<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;<p>Dave Richins, CEO of United Food Bank and his advisor Jentry Harris of the Mahoning Group were joined virtually by Jared Means, HR Manager of F.H.
