Employer-Sponsored Health Plans
U.S. employers are struggling with healthcare costs that are increasing at >2X inflation!
Our community of like-minded business leaders wants to foster the development and adoption of healthcare benefits programs that reduce these costs and align with business objectives.
Why This Matters
Business leaders lack a clear view of the total cost of health benefits and their impact on employee health and business performance. It is an increasing part of your budget, yet it is underperforming!
-
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.
Key Challenges for Employer-Sponsored Health Plans (ESHPs)
These challenges are primarily due to a lack of transparency between employers and plan members. This is a result of misaligned incentives and 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 & Analytics
Lack of a unified view of benefits programs.
Siloed data sources across non-aligned vendors.
Limited visibility to cost drivers, employee engagement and health outcomes.
Lack of Targeted, Innovative Programs
Employees treated as a single population, and not engaged.
Little ROI tracking or innovation.
Unrealized opportunities to improve workforce health and productivity.
Increased Regulatory Oversight
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 compliance.
Examples of Novel Benefits Programs
Cost Management & Sustainability
Full-spectrum GLP-1 program integrating eligibility screening, personalized engagement, and narrow network delivery — achieved 30% lower cost with equal or better outcomes.
Workforce Productivity
Neurodiversity support offering tailored coaching, community resources, and manager training — improved engagement and productivity across the workforce.
Injury Reduction & Safety
Virtual physical therapy access via field tablets for line workers — drove higher utilization, fewer injuries, and immediate ROI for the employer.
Benefit Integrity & Oversight
Advanced analytics flagged excessive FMLA/STD/LTD use - targeted intervention reduced fraudulent claims and improved benefit compliance and time-to-return.
