As the legislative and regulatory landscape in health care continues to evolve, it is important to keep informed of the latest changes and trends. The Certificate in Health and Welfare Plans program provides the history, philosophies and objectives of the employment-based health care system and an overview of the latest reform initiatives. Also offered is a survey of plan management and design options, including consumer-driven health care, managed care fundamentals, value-based strategies, and designing and implementing flexible benefits programs.

If you previously took the Choice-Based Benefits course (now called Ancillary Benefit Plans), it will satisfy your elective requirement for this certificate. We recommend that you do not take the Ancillary Benefit Plans course within three years of taking Choice-Based Benefits, as a large portion of the curriculum may overlap.)
