Put Your Dollars to Work for You

You may not know it, but those premium dollars you pay every month are paying your carrier’s taxes and profits, and they are subsidizing the claims other employers and individuals. Our program puts those dollars under your command.

Customize & Control Your Plans

Backed up by decades of data, we’ll help create your new plans based on your needs. With the total data transparency in our program, it is possible to increase benefits and lower out-of-pocket costs for your employees with little impact on your bottom line. Every year, we’ll help you price out your plan changes line-by-line.

Blow Away Recruits, Foster Loyalty

Your employees know that jobs in government or at Fortune 500 companies offer the best benefits. Or do they? It’s possible to become the standard for employee benefits, dramatically improve recruitment efforts, and reduce turnover.

The True Cost of Healthcare

Carrier coverage is straightforward. You pay your monthly premiums, they pay claims according to their terms.

But that convenience comes at a cost. You have little insight into where your money is being spent and virtually no negotiating power at renewal.

What makes our program so successful?

Proprietary Network: We have a network California hospitals and providers that have agreed to lower claims by as much as 68% over your rented carrier network. You read that right…68%. We lower employee cost-sharing as an incentive to use these providers. The network is fully integrated with your plan.

Carveouts: We’ve identified the main drivers of healthcare costs and carved them out for cost-saving alternatives.

Targeted Intervention: We prevent high-cost claims through proactive employee outreach. Especially for employees with chronic diseases, long-term medical challenges, and surgical needs.

Data-based Review & Strategic Plan Design: Our tailored plans align with your organization’s unique needs. We optimize coverage while minimizing unnecessary costs. Data transparency leads to smarter decisions.
