SUMMARY:ChatTBT – March 4
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendar for an engaging ChatTBT session designed for today’s benefits advisors. \nOne of the largest risks to benefit plans for small\, mid\, and large-sized businesses is high-cost medications.

Fortunately\, there are ways to mitigate this risk entirely with ClaimSecure’s Formulary Protect and Protect Plus plan designs. Join our upcoming ChatTBT session on Wednesday\, March 4th to learn more about these programs and get the tools you need to safeguard your clients against these very real risks. \nWhy Attend ChatTBT?\nConnect and Share: Engage with advisors from diverse backgrounds\, fostering a community of learning and collaboration. \nExpert Insights: Bring your questions and get answers directly from The Benefits Trust team. \nPractical Takeaways: Gain actionable strategies to address service concerns and reinforce your value as a trusted advisor.\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/DSpv_Er6TmmsB5suvnxhAA#/registration
