Why Attend SPBA Meetings (watch Video)

We are thrilled to share the highlights from our SPBA 2025 Hybrid Fall Meeting held on September 29-30 at the Westin Indianapolis.

This Fall Meeting brought together our esteemed members, industry experts, and thought leaders for a series of insightful sessions, workshops, track sessions, and networking opportunities. The event provided a platform for exchanging ideas, exploring new strategies, and strengthening professional connections.

The agenda highlighted SPBA’s 50th Anniversary with a wide range of sessions covering both foundational and advanced topics in self-funded health benefits. Pre-meeting training sessions focused on Self-Funding 101, TPA acronyms, and Stop-Loss basics, giving attendees practical tools to onboard new hires and navigate core aspects of TPA operations. The Fall Meeting sessions explored strategic planning, SWOT analysis, and emerging trends in AI-driven care coordination and operational efficiency. Panel discussions and workshops addressed Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRA), claims and appeals best practices, surgical overuse and conservative overtreatment, subrogation strategies, vendor acquisitions, and compliance challenges such as plan assets and problematic plan designs. Reflections from past SPBA Chairmen and a special 50th Anniversary cocktail reception provided insight, inspiration, and opportunities for networking. Overall, attendees gained actionable knowledge on TPA operations, compliance, risk management, employer communication, and innovative solutions shaping the self-funded benefits landscape today.
