Insurance Trends: How Preparing for Open Enrollment and
How COVID Has Affected Insurance
Presenter: Michael Knize, Director of Employee Benefits for McAnally Wilkins Insurance
Covid-19 has not only affected individuals, but it is having a profound impact on businesses across the country. There are stories published every day and many contradict one another creating uncertainty and an inability to make educated decisions about what is best for you and your employees. Michael will be discussing the effect of Covid on medical cost trends, but also the pros, cons and latest information on vaccine mandates and premium surcharges. There are a lot of questions and not a lot of answers right now, at least not a lot of consistent answers. This presentation will provide support and resources to help you develop the best plan of action for your company.
