Employer-Sponsored Health Plans
U.S. employers are struggling with healthcare costs that are increasing at >2X inflation and it’s been this way for a decade! Clearly, existing approaches are not working!
We’re creating an exclusive community of like-minded business leaders who want to foster the development and adoption of novel healthcare benefits programs that reduce costs and enhance strategic alignment with your overall business objectives.
Why This Matters
Employee health benefits are a powerful strategic lever for business performance, yet too often, leaders lack a clear, transparent view of the total cost of benefits and their true impact on employee outcomes.
It is an increasing part of your budget and it’s underperforming!
No other part of your business is managed this way.

You Care About Your Employees
Your Most Valuable and Costly Resource
-
You Need to Manage Healthcare Costs
Increasing at a Tremendous Rate
-
You Need to Better Manage Regulatory Compliance
Ensure Good Financial Stewardship of Employees’ Resources and Health Benefit Parity
Why Now?
Employer health benefits costs have been skyrocketing for years. The confluence of three key drivers makes now the time to fundamentally change your programs:
-
Regulatory
The environment surrounding the financial stewardship of your benefits program and the equity of mental and physical health plans is becoming increasingly stringent.
The result – Lawsuits by employees for lack of benefits program oversight.
-
Plan Choice
Over 40% of employees are choosing high-deductible benefit options and expect more proactive programs to help keep costs down.*
-
Consumerization
Plan members expect more flexibility in how they consume healthcare. (digital/in-person/24 hours)
Effective outcomes require benefits programs tailored to employees' health histories, roles, and work locations. They should also include employee resource groups.
Key Challenges for Employer-Sponsored Health Plans (ESHPs)
The following challenges in the current ESHP environment are primarily due to a lack of transparency between employers and their plan members. This is a result of misaligned incentives and third-party middlemen with entrenched self-interests.
Misaligned Incentives
Third parties (TPAs, Brokers, Consultants) control benefit design and data.
Friction between employer goals and plan performance.
Benefits as cost center vs. a driver of workforce and business outcomes.
Opaque Data & Limited Insight
Lack of a unified view of benefits programs.
Siloed data sources across non-aligned vendors.
Limited visibility to key cost drivers employee engagement and health outcomes.
One-Size-Fits-All Programs
Employees treated as a single population, not segmented nor engaged.
Little ROI tracking or innovation.
Unrealized opportunities to improve workforce health and productivity.
Growing Regulatory Complexity
CAA, and ERISA require greater fiscal and fiduciary oversight
Employers must demonstrate cost-effectiveness and parity between mental and physical health benefits.
Employers lack tools and data to monitor their compliance.
Examples of Novel Benefits Programs
Cost Management & Sustainability
Full-spectrum GLP-1 program integrating eligibility screening, personalized engagement, and narrow network delivery — achieving 30% lower cost with equal or better outcomes.
Workforce Productivity
Neurodiversity support initiative offering tailored coaching, community resources, and manager training — improving engagement and productivity across the workforce.
Injury Reduction & Safety
Virtual physical therapy access via field tablets for line workers — driving higher utilization, fewer injuries, and immediate ROI for the employer.
Benefit Integrity & Oversight
Advanced analytics flagged excessive FMLA/STD/LTD use (35 days/annually); targeted intervention reduced fraudulent claims and improved benefit compliance and time-to-return.
