Ethical Challenges Faced by Life and Health Insurance Professionals
Thursday, June 25, 2026 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM (3 CE Hours – Health Benefits)
This session explores the difference between legal compliance and ethical conduct in life and health insurance. Through real-world examples involving Medicare, ACA plans, life insurance, and annuities, participants will learn frameworks for making ethical decisions while maintaining a client-first practice.
Speaker: Tammie Grisso D’Allura, CPCU, CIC
GLP Weight Loss Medications: What Insurance Professionals Need to Know
Thursday, August 20, 2026 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM (2 CE Hours – Health Benefits)
This course equips health/benefits agents with a practical understanding of GLP-1–based medications (and “GLP-3” as an informal shorthand for emerging triple-agonist therapies in the pipeline) and how employer plan sponsors can responsibly cover and/or support access. Agents will learn the current clinical/market landscape, the “why” for employers (health outcomes, workforce impact, cost trend), and a menu of benefit design options - from fully integrated coverage to utilization management and tax-advantaged reimbursement strategies.
Speaker: Tammie Grisso D’Allura, CPCU, CIC
