Presentation Title: Beyond Fully Insured – A Practical Guide to Self‑Funded Health Plans
Presentation Description: In this special event for HR BioTech Connect members, David C. Smith, JD, REBC, CHVA, will provide a practical, plain‑English introduction to self‑funded health plans and how they compare to fully insured arrangements. Designed as a “Self‑Funding 101” discussion, this presentation will walk HR leaders in the life sciences industry through how self‑funding works, when it may (or may not) make sense, and how employers can manage risk through strategies such as stop‑loss coverage, level‑funded plans, and alternative funding structures.
