We understand that employers want to provide health care benefits
that meet their employees' needs and offer the best value. In 2009,
metroplex employers were expected to spend an average of $9,865 per employee
annually for health care benefits, nearly an 6% increase over 2008
costs. Employees' out-of-pocket share will climb to $1,984 on average.*
Leaders of change in healthcare
Bringing together leaders and decision makers from a variety of
businesses, the DFW Business Group on Health is a regional, employer-sponsored
healthcare coalition.

SAVE THE DATE!
Nearly 400 business and healthcare executives are expected to
attend this year's Forum, including corporate benefits and wellness
executives from large and mid-size Texas employers, health and benefits
service providers, and healthcare professionals. The goal of this
premier event is to provide a valuable educational venue for employers
and other healthcare stakeholders, where they can learn from industry
experts, discuss critical issues and best practices, and exchange
valuable information and insights with peers.
DFWBGH Launches VBB Project!
On August 26, DFWBGH launched the Texas Health Strategy Project,
a new program to assist employers in coordinating and aligning their
health benefits to improve the health of their employees and their
families. Part of a national effort sponsored by the National
Business Coalition on Health (NBCH) in cooperation with Pfizer
Inc., the program will help DFW area employers implement a structured,
data-driven, value-based approach to benefits design to ensure that
their workforce has access to high quality, evidence-based and cost-effective
health care by reducing barriers to essential services and motivating
employees to make wise lifestyle and health care decisions. Participating
DFWBGH members include Archon Group, Brinker International, City
of McKinney, City of Mesquite, Energy Future Holdings, Federal Reserve
Bank of Dallas, Haggar Clothing Co., Interstate Batteries, and Triumph
Aerostructures. The project will provide hands-on technical
assistance and financial support to assist the DFWBGH and their
employer members.
