The Healthcare Cost Crisis

Employers are facing rising costs and point-solution fatigue. These are the pressure zones we fix first:

Pharmacy Spend

Prescription costs eating into your budget while employees struggle with medication access and adherence.

Potential 30-50% savings

Chronic Care Management

High-cost chronic conditions driving claims while members lack proper support and engagement.

Reduce chronic care costs by up to 20%

Mental Health Access

Long wait times, limited provider networks, and rising behavioral health needs impacting productivity.

Address access gaps that affect 122 million people

Price Transparency & Navigation

Employees confused by healthcare options, leading to inefficient utilization and unnecessary costs.

Save up to 8% of total medical spend

Why Now: The Employer Health Cost Equation Changed

  • Healthcare costs are expected to rise 8.5% in 2026 - 52% of employers are likely to shift more costs to employees in 2026, up from 45%
  • Point-solution fatigue is real - Employers have 10+ vendors on average but most lack measurable ROI
  • Remote workforce demands new solutions - Geographic dispersion requires virtual-first, accessible healthcare options
  • Regulatory changes create opportunities - Price transparency and alternative payment models enable smarter purchasing

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re not a broker and we don’t replace them. We plug in alongside them to evaluate, shortlist, and implement high-ROI vendor solutions (pharmacy, chronic condition programs, navigation) with clear success metrics. Think of us as your solution R&D + due-diligence arm: faster vendor filtering, tougher ROI standards, and hands-on help from business case → contracting → launch → measurement.
We primarily support self-funded employers with 500+ employees, where the impact on pharmacy, chronic conditions, and navigation is most material. That said, if you’re a smaller group or currently fully insured, we can still help - several solutions work well at lower headcounts or as carve-outs. If you’re unsure, reach out and we’ll quickly assess fit and ROI potential.
Most engagements are no-cost to employers. I’m typically paid a referral fee by the vendor that does not increase your price. I require price-parity - equal or better than going direct or through other channels. If you’d rather, we can work employer-paid (flat fee/retainer), and I’ll decline any vendor compensation. My recommendations remain vendor-agnostic and evidence-based.
Timeline varies by solution type. Pharmacy solutions often show savings within 3-6 months, while chronic care management and mental health solutions typically demonstrate ROI within 6-12 months. Our process from initial assessment to solution implementation averages 90-120 days, with ongoing optimization continuing throughout the partnership.
We work with both. Self-funded plans have more latitude to adopt innovative solutions; for fully insured employers we focus on carrier-permitted improvements (navigation/steerage, pharmacy tactics, targeted carve-outs) and a data-backed roadmap for future changes, including self-funding if it makes sense. We tailor the approach to your plan’s funding model, contracts, and governance.
