Frederick Reese, Western Carolina Industries, will tell us that doing nothing is not a long-term solution for rising healthcare costs. He will share information about an innovative health benefits initiative called the BodPod. This program has helped participating employers realize substantial savings for their health benefits program and we will hear from two local companies that have implemented the program and saved!
Patrick Long, River Oak Risk will explain how a small captive helps protect what your business earns annually. Fortune 1000 companies have utilized large captives for decades and now small captives are available to reduce risks and losses yet increase cash flow and help with long-term plans. Captive insurance companies are owned and controlled by those who are insured, thereby bypassing traditional business insurers.
