World Congress 2nd Annual Leadership Summit on Ancillary Products and Voluntary BenefitsMarch 21-23, 2012Orlando, FL Voluntary benefits and ancillary services are a multibillion-dollar industry and one of the fastest growing segments in the insurance industry in America. These markets will face new challenges and opportunities under health care reform. Many employers will turn to voluntary benefits as they cancel “core” group insurance benefits because of the increased cost of paying for those benefits. As health care reform forces insurers to lower and possibly eliminate commissions for group health insurance plans, many health plans will look to voluntary benefits to supplement their revenue. This Summit will convene insurance carriers, employers, and brokers to discuss how to leverage voluntary and other specialty products to remain competitive and profitable in the wake of health care reform.
