Fiduciary Risk Is Rising: How to Defend Your Health Plan Decisions
With projected health benefit cost increases approaching 9% and growing scrutiny around GLP-1 coverage, PBM strategy, and vendor performance, employers are increasingly expected to defend not only outcomes—but the decisions behind them.
Fiduciary responsibility is no longer simply a compliance exercise. It requires documented oversight, transparent decision-making, and governance processes that can withstand CFO, regulatory, and legal review.
This session focuses on what fiduciary proof looks like in practice and how employers and advisors can implement governance frameworks that are continuous, documented, and financially defensible.

Pharmacy Benefits 2026
The pharmacy landscape has changed. CAA 2026, the FTC/Express Scripts settlement, and a wave of employer-driven audits and RFPs have shifted what's possible — and what's expected. This is a working session for senior benefits leaders who are ready to act.
What you'll walk away with:
- A clear read on what CAA 2026 and the FTC settlement actually require — and where they create new employer leverage
- A practical framework for auditing your PBM and recovering what you're owed
- Tools for claiming independent data access and building vendor accountability into contracts
- A blueprint for running a transparency-driven RFP — and the employer case studies to back it up
- An honest peer conversation about GLP-1 coverage decisions, direct-to-employer models, and what the next high-cost drug class means for your strategy
The employers in this room are wrestling with the same questions you are — and being in the room together is how the answers start to take shape. That's worth a day in New Jersey.
