The Northern Illinois Association of Health Underwriters (NIAHU) is hosting a special consumer-directed health care (CDHC) certification class that is offered exclusively through the National Association of Health Underwriters.

This class, which also offers 4 hours of state CE, is being offered from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 20th at the Randall Oaks Golf Club in West Dundee (NW suburb of Chicago).

The CDHC certification class is a four-hour course on consumer-directed health care that will provide attendees with technical, actionable information they can use to help their clients consider these fast-evolving plans and implement them successfully. The class is open to employers as well as benefit professionals. The certification will serve as a distinction for producers as credentialed experts in the sophisticated space of CDHC.

This course:

• Compares Health Reimbursement Arrangements, Health Savings Accounts and other plan designs
• Considers current and projected adoption
• Presents comprehensive guidance on eligibility, contributions and all technical elements
• Provides two frameworks — one for selling CDHC and another for implementing it, which brokers may share with employers
• Suggests enrollment and communication strategies and tactics
• Involves class participants in breakout discussions on ways to implement specific cases

Certification as a specialist in consumer-directed health care - NAHU's CDHC designation - will be provided following completion of the course and a passing grade on the online examination.

The cost of the course is $135 for NAHU members and $185 for non-members. Click here to register online at a discounted rate of $125 for NAHU members and $175 for non-members.
