Upcoming Webinar - Cannabis Use & Employee Health: Guiding Employers on Chronic Illness and Legal Implications

Attention HR Executives and Benefits Managers! 

‍

On August 30, 2023, after a scientific/clinical review the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) acknowledged that cannabis has medicinal uses and recommended rescheduling cannabis to a Class 3 drug. This means that the healthcare ecosystem, employers, health plans, and insurers must prepare for a future where cannabis is part of a benefit plan.  

Employees will be emboldened by this change to ask for coverage and now is the time to strategically prepare.  We know employees using cannabis for cancer and chronic pain abatement will be sure to ask for payment especially if they are using cannabis instead of covered drugs such as opioids.

Did you know 24% of Americans used cannabis last year? 

50% of Americans diagnosed with cancer will turn to cannabis for symptom abatement, while 

70% of oncologists did not feel equipped to make clinical recommendations regarding cannabis. 

Learn the latest trends in employee cannabis use, understand the benefits and risks, discover how employers can enhance health and business outcomes through critical illness support and employee education, and how a cannabis benefit can lower employee health care costs.

With insightful data, patient narratives, and clinical & legal expertise, this webinar equips HR professionals, benefits managers, and executives with the knowledge they need to guide their organizations in navigating the evolving landscape of cannabis use and to empower employees with responsible cannabis guidance for enhanced well-being and productivity.
