CDHC- Consumer Directed Health Care
Consumer Direction Health Care
options,
including those for Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Flexible Spending Accounts
(FSAs) and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs), have opened a wealth of
opportunities for consumers. These opportunities have created new responsibilities
for agents & brokers, and advising clients in these areas is more difficult
and time-consuming than it has been in the past. To
address the new market options, NAHU has created a new CDHC certification course.
Completion of this course will ensure a strong technical knowledge of the rules
and regulations pertaining to various types of consumer-directed health care options
and proven methods for communicating those options to employers and employees
in a compelling way. Certification will be provided following completion
of the course and an online examination with a passing grade. Find
out more....sign up for this NEW Consumer
Driven Health Care certification program
by registering
directly with NAHU.

TO BE SCHEDULED SPRING 2009 -
Family Issues - Navigating and
Understanding Your Choices before
a CRISIS and Understanding the Senior
Markets -
No, it's not just about us anymore!
Care is expensive - so how do we plan before a crisis mode hits
us and we are faced with unforeseen expenses? Please join us as
part of a comprehensive strategy to work with the many resources
and planning tools available today. This seminar will be helpful
on many levels...whether you need the CE's, personally or professionally
interested, or want to provide options for clients or for your own
parent...you will gain a wealth of in-depth information on this
comprehensive approach!
Morning Session ---
- Reverse Mortgages: From aging population
trends and common myths, to using a reverse mortgage for your
client's advantage, this one hour presentation will address
what is involved in a home equity conversion mortgage, borrower
eligibility, possible payment options,and up-front costs.
- A Geriatric Care Manager will take
the "bird's eye" view of an individual family member's
lifestyle to help objectively focus on wellbeing and coordination
of services.
- You will hear from an In-home Care
Specialist on the range of services available for those parents
or loved ones that just want to stay in "their" home
and not the nursing home!
|
Afternoon Session ---
- The "cookie cutter" approach
does not meet everyone's need when estate planning - how your
client is best served depends on solid planning and financial
goals - and knowing the law.
- With the advice of a financial
planner, your client may be able to save twice as much as
they thought possible providing for their future and having
a retirement they planned for.
- The afternoon session will focus on
how we can now make a difference in our futures, or our client's
future with Long Term Care, Estate Planning and with good Financial
Advice. You will find solutions, solve problems and be provided
tools to use when faced with difficult client situations. You will come away with
valuable solutions to these issues.
|
Please join us for either part of the day
-or stay the full day -and come away knowing what a comprehensive
approach to your's or your client's family issues can be.
