Brett Sipes, Managing Director for GTN Pacific will be discussing the variety of costs and risks for business travelers and your company, including tax and legal issues. Depending on the duration and location of the assignment, the employee may also incur individual income and social tax liabilities in the home and host country. In an era of cost cutting and budget control, it is more important than ever to know these costs in advance of a decision to send an employee on assignment.

Other speakers include:

Keynote Speaker:

Dr. Margaret-Mary Wilson, MD, MRCP, FNMCP, Chief Medical Officer & Senior Vice President at UnitedHealthcare Global.

Hilary Lyon, UHCGlobal Vice President of Clinical Strategy & Operations, who will be discussing Global Health Management Programs and how to manage members across domestic and international boundaries. It’s expensive to send an employee on an international work assignment, and Health issues are among the leading causes of expatriate failure. A Clinically Integrated Delivery Model considers the needs of the individual with complex and chronic conditions who will benefit from an integrated experience regardless of location. Explore how these programs can lead to improved quality of care and decreased costs, providing a continuity of care for the complex health needs of members and their dependents.

Chris Murff, UHCGlobal Vice President of Sales & Global Risk, who will be discussing Security and Assistance Solutions for an ever changing Global Market.
