The East Portland Chamber of Commerce is hosting a panel discussion on Health Care. Navigating the intricacies of small-group health insurance can be difficult! Do you want to offer your employees health insurance benefits but don’t know where to start? Do you wonder if what you’re currently offering is meeting state and federal compliance laws? Do you have questions about how new legislation will affect your small business? Please join us for a panelist discussion on small group health insurance including benefit options, policies, compliance, and updates on what to expect in the 2019 landscape. Our panelists are Michael Wallace (Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace), Taylor Kane (licensed health insurance broker), and Kevin Minkoff (Certified Public Accountant).
