“These workshops are always very informative, [explaining] with what’s new in the market. The ECCHIC staff is always very knowledgeable and very hospitable. Our organization has benefited from your help and services for seven years. Thank you!”

Twice a year we host a workshop for our current clients where we provide updates on what is happening with their insurance programs, and how to stay one or even two steps ahead of this ever-changing world. We held one yesterday, on May 24th, in a meeting room at the Missouri Bluffs Golf Course, and it went fabulously well –
“Very informative! Always enjoy these meetings! Keep up the good work.”

“Good range of topics. Kept the workshop moving well between topics. Best takeaways: All H.C. members are independent purchasing agents with our money; and benefits of working with our local pharmacy on cash sales.”

We gather top-notch speakers who are experts in their fields. We had Bruce Canis give a talk on Medicare, Alex Breuer of ADP to talk about general HR trends, Jack Abbott of IPMG spoke on General Administrative Responsibility, and David Schermer spoke about Specialty Drug Costs. I spoke on how “Removing the Middlemen” is more important than ever and Ancillary Benefits among other topics.
“Great speakers, interesting topics!”

One highlight was Dr. Sanjay Prasad talk about market-based pricing, as his group, SurgiPrice is doing amazing work lowering the cost of specific operations and procedures.
“Enjoyed the SurgiPrice presentation and will consider it for our plan. Good insight into other issues.”

Often, a long-time client has someone new to their company taking over HR duties. Sometimes people are skeptical …
“Our company has been with ECCHIC for seven years. Coming into the company as HR Director/Fiscal Director in 2016, I was very skeptical and questioned further use of ECCHIC. However, the presentations helped me to understand not only all my questions but also to further continue with ECCHIC as well as becoming a new company for SurgiPrice. Came in as an unbeliever and came out as a believer and then some! Thank you!”

… and we satisfy more than just a hunger for knowledge …
“The timing of each speaker was good – short but informative. Information in handouts was good. Lunch was yummy!”

Others in our field might not feel the need to hold these free workshops for people we’re already doing business with, but we do out of sense of duty. A well-informed client can serve their employees better, and to be able to stabilize benefits at a cost savings, often a significant one, involves as one of our speakers said, “bobbing and weaving” through the jungle of health insurance today.
