Step 1 – Company Assessment
The first step in our process is to assess your company’s health plan data in order to discern opportunities and strategies to control costs without compromising value. We work closely with our clients to understand your specific risk tolerance and financial goals to achieve long-term sustainability. We take into consideration your company’s structure, financial health, past experiences, and culture to define the best future benefit plan for you!
Step 2 – Build an Empowering Plan Design
We create an empowering plan design that enables you to reduce your out-of-pocket costs through choice, knowledge, and support. We start with your company’s current or desired health plan design to define members’ maximum out-of-pocket cost. Members can reduce their costs when they use tools that are built into the plan to help them navigate the complicated healthcare system.
Step 3 – Change Management Support
We do benefits differently, which requires a paradigm shift in how to think about paying for healthcare. First, we educate your company’s leaders on new concepts to control healthcare costs. Next, we initiate an educational initiative for your staff, presenting and emphasizing health plan tools and resources designed to manage expenses and reinforce the plan’s value.
Step 4 – Active Plan Management
Data is key to understanding health costs and managing those costs effectively. We work with partners that provide transparent and unrestricted plan utilization and claims data. Our clients receive monthly reports with ongoing oversight and analysis of your claims data. Doing so helps catch errors, anticipate future costs, and identify cost savings opportunities before large claims occur.
Step 5 – HR Support
We support all aspects of your benefits plan, including administration, compliance, and employee communications. Through our extensive HR experience and compliance resources, we can quickly address common HR questions and provide guidance on a range of HR issues. We are an extension of your HR team, and you can rely on our expertise.

Cost Containment Strategies
Case Studies
Recruitment Firm Reduces Healthcare Costs to 2012 Level!
While most employers’ healthcare cost has increased by almost 70%* over the past decade, this recruiting firm experienced its lowest cost since 2012! In 2022, the client’s medical claims were 37% below the benchmark and 72% below the RX benchmark, outperforming other self-funded plans.
How? In 2019, the company changed its self-funded strategy by switching from a bundled major carrier to an independent Third Party Administrator (TPA). The independent TPA provided full access to claims data and gave the group the flexibility required to implement key cost containment strategies.
As a result, the company was able to achieve cost savings, improve its claims management, and maintain a high-quality health plan for its employees.
