Differentiating benefits can be a strategic tool for employers — but not all differences are allowed. This webinar will help employers understand when and how they can differentiate benefit programs while staying compliant. In this session, we'll break down the various nondiscrimination requirements that apply to employee benefit plans, including tax code testing rules for highly compensated and key employees and protections against discrimination based on health status, disability, and other protected characteristics.

Benefits Seminar | Power Hour
Rising healthcare costs are inevitable, but how much you absorb may not be. Many employers are leaving significant savings on the table by only using surface-level fixes like raising deductibles or shopping the market. C&B’s approach works with employers across 5 standout strategies: managing plan eligibility, transferring large claim risk, restructuring plan financials, controlling pharmacy spend, and steering employees to cost-effective care. These strategies together can fundamentally change what you pay and why. Register today to secure your spot for a great discussion.
