Today’s employees expect fertility support but most benefits offerings don’t go far enough. Many programs simply point employees toward a clinic and then step back. That hands-off approach often leads to unnecessary treatments, higher costs, and poor outcomes for both families and employers.
Forward-thinking companies like Universal Music Group are adopting a new model: clinically managed fertility benefits. By placing medical oversight and active care coordination at the center, these programs are helping people make more informed decisions, improving outcomes, and cutting healthcare costs.
Join this webinar to learn how clinically managed care can help you strengthen your fertility benefits—lowering costs, improving results, and providing real support to employees at every stage of their family-building journey.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- What separates unmanaged from clinically managed care—and understand why it matters
- How to identify (and address) cost drivers in traditional fertility programs
- How to implement clinically-managed benefits without added administrative burden
- The impact of better fertility benefits on retention, employee experience and ROI
