What the FSA? - FUN, Crash Course on all things Open Enrollment.

Description

This event is held ONLINE ONLY and is great for anyone who works a job that offers benefits. We will talk about all of the most common benefits (Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, etc) and break them down into digestible bits. At the end, there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions.

If you answer "Yes", "HECK YES", " Oh my GOSH, I'm not the only one?" or anything of the sort, you DON'T want to miss this FREE MASTER CLASS.

During Annual Benefits Open Enrollment,

- does reading your company's benefits booklet feel like trying to read a manual on how to complete open heart surgery in CHINESE?

- do you feel like it's easier to stick with the crappy plan you already have, than to learn about a new plan, even though it barely covers anything, your local hospital system went out-of-network and your medications have TRIPLED in cost?

- do you find yourself OVERWHELMED WITH FRUSTRATION trying to determine whether to go with the , PPO, HMO, EPO, HDHP (high deductible health plan) or the high premium plan, HSA,FSA, DCA, LIMITED PURPOSE FSA, ETC?

- are you someone who puts Open Enrollment off until the LAST day because it feels more like a task than a privilege?

- get confused on whether you should cover your spouse, should they cover you, or should you both carry your children?

- wonder whether it's worth signing up this year since you now have Medicare?

---------------- OR-------------------

- Are you busy or work weird hours and DON'T HAVE A LOT OF TIME to spend reviewing the new benefits booklets?

- Have you been SLAMMED with medical bills for services that should have been covered by insurance, only to find out you had a deductible the price of a used car?

- Have you been BURNED (or almost) by the "USE IT OR LOSE IT" fire, and lost HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of YOUR unused money in an FSA because no one said anything? Now you have more Gauze, Band-Aids and First Aid Kits than The American Red Cross.

Have you ever missed work and had to use PTO to cover sick days in order to make sure your bills were paid?

If any of the above scenarios sound like you, YOU NEED TO BE HERE!

Attend this 1 hour Master Class, followed by an optional Q&A session with a licensed and certified professional who will answer the MOST COMMON questions that EVERYONE has, but can NEVER FIGURE OUT how, who or what to ask. At the end of this presentation, participants will have the opportunity to ask their questions and get an answer ON THE SPOT.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO GAIN:

- Comprehensiveness through a FULL benefits package review. This event is NOT LIMITED TO HEALTH INSURANCE ONLY. We will discuss ALL OF THE MOST COMMON BENEFITS OFFERED. THESE INCLUDE:

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Accidental Death & Dismemberment, Disability and Leave of Absence, HSA, FSA, 401K/Retirement, EAP, and Tuition Reimbursement

- Empowerment in knowing that you are making INFORMED decisions and not just picking the cheapest plan for the sake of having insurance, or throwing money out the window with the most expensive plan because "at least if something happens, I'll have the most coverage"

- Peace of Mind in understanding and setting true expectations or your benefits and health insurance plans to avoid unexpected mishaps like medical bills, unpaid time off, or financial turmoil at the hands of losing a loved one or worse, your loved ones losing you. Stress no more over long hold times for offshore customer service representatives who have NO clue about the US Healthcare System, or the insurance company to find out whether your doctor is in network, only for them to tell you to call your doctor for their Tax ID or NPI number... at 8pm

- Time as most participants reduce the time they spend completing open enrollment to a fraction of their previous investment because they know exactly what benefits they want in their upcoming plan year.

- Empowerment those who choose the ONE-ON-ONE sessions receive customized recommendations based on systematic analysis and predictions. Coordination of care, all necessary phone calls and form-completion are done by a licensed and trained professional who empowers you to know you're in great hands and can focus your time elsewhere

STAY 'TIL THE END- At the end of the event, you will have the opportunity to schedule a ONE-ON-ONE session with a licensed health insurance counselor who can sit down and walk through YOUR benefits booklet WITH YOU or FOR YOU (for busy folks... or folks who just don't want to be bothered). During these sessions, your advocate will "Translate" your employer-sponsored benefits booklets into plain ol' English, help you with the nitty-gritty details (check your doctor's network status, compare plans to your real-life situations, estimate healthcare and medication costs, assigning life insurance beneficiaries, picking or skipping benefits etc.) and make the best use of your employer benefits.
