LIMRA Data Exchange Standards Benefits Enrollment 1.0 is scheduled to be released to the industry on January 28^th. A number of the Data Exchange Standards committee member companies have implemented this standard. Several companies will share their implementation experiences and discuss why the industry should adopt this new standard.

Are we making billing harder than it needs to be? The billing experience continues to be a source of frustration for everyone involved with the billing process. Can we answer the age old question of who’s picking up the bill? Our panel will address all these questions and explore: 

• How can carriers leverage benefit technology to optimize the billing experience?
• When does it makes sense to do list billing vs self-billing?  How can we be more consultative?
• Why is list billing still so popular despite the rise of benefit technology? 

Most enrollments today are being done on technology platforms that were implemented after enrollment products were created. Is this causing employees to lose some of the added benefits as we simplify? Join this session to discuss whether we have appropriately cared for the implications of technology handling these products, and if insurance carriers should modify them to better fit the technology.

“Laissez les bon temps rouler” or “let the good times roll” is easier said than done when the only constant is change. This Town Hall session will address the changes we’re facing in relation to working with platform partners, including how carriers are managing fees, agreements, oversight, and their number of connections. Then we’ll turn it over to you to share your stories, ask questions, and lend your voice to the discussion.

All conference attendees are invited to dinner.
