Mastering ERISA Responsibility & Elevating Advisory Authority
The rules governing self-funded health plans have changed. The expectations for advisors have changed further.
Today’s producers and agency principals are no longer judged solely on pricing strategies or plan design. They are evaluated on their ability to guide employers through a complex landscape of fiduciary duties, vendor compensation disclosures, stop-loss alignment, and governance accountability.
This program equips you with the knowledge, frameworks, and language needed to step into that role with confidence.
