Presentation #1

Are you Audit Ready?

Much of being audit ready means being in sync with Plan operations. Any mismatches between plan documents and operations could lead to misunderstandings, inefficiency, or worse, vulnerability to government penalties and participant litigation. Increased IRS and DOL enforcement efforts and plan audits mean that it is more important now than ever before for plan sponsors to document plan operations, keep them up to date and follow them.

Join the discussion on how you can ensure you are as prepared as possible in the event of an audit.

Presentation #2

Turning Regulatory Change into Opportunity:
A Strategic Approach to Optimizing Out-of-Network Cost Management in the No Surprises Act Era

As regulatory changes continue to reshape the healthcare landscape, the No Surprises Act (NSA) has created new opportunities for health plans to rethink their out-of-network cost management strategies. In this session, Green Light will introduce our approach to helping health benefit funds optimize savings, streamline compliance, and enhance the overall plan experience for their members. We’ll explore how strategic cost containment, combined with regulatory alignment, enables health plans to maximize savings, streamline operations, and improve member satisfaction, all while meeting new regulatory standards.

Presented by: Matt Davis, CEO
Green Light
