Commit to Prosperity

When the healthcare industry misaligns with the goals and data of our clients, TBC commits to challenging the status quo.

Over a five year period, a company will save 50% of one year’s premiums by reducing the renewal trend by only 3%.

Together, let’s build a multi-year strategy to challenge the benefit industry’s outdated and ineffective approaches.

The Benefit Company‘s ability to educate our leadership team helped us make the right decisions for our members. Ultimately, we are spending less without reducing benefits for our employees and families: a true win-win!

Exposing the Status Quo with a Multi-Year Strategy and Innovation

I recently looked back at the strategic plan The Benefit Company helped us put in place three years ago, and it was great to see we accomplished every goal.
Vice President, Human Resources
  • The Benefit Company partnered to help this 5,000+ employee healthcare company build a multi-year strategy to navigate the changing healthcare landscape.
  • The pace of change within the healthcare strategic plan was directed by infrastructure/technology needs and a focus on navigating Healthcare Reform compliance.
  • Year 1: Self-funding was chosen to obtain access to data; carve-out the stop loss program; implement a data-aggregation tool to help identify healthcare spend waste; and, better assess opportunities for population health management.
  • Year 2: Carve out the Pharmacy Benefit Management. Use data analytics to address gaps in care.
  • Year 3: Build Case Management and Pharmacy outreach solutions to promote adherence to care norms, preventative care, and steer members to appropriate care.

On the Road to a Negative Renewal Trend

Our benefits are still an expense, but one that we are confidently controlling. Our reserves tell the story… and it’s a good one!
Chief Financial Officer
  • Education led to choosing the right path, not the easiest path.
  • When fully insured, the client knew there was a better way, but needed help finding it. They hired TBC in 2015 to help guide them down that path.
  • The client first transitioned to a self-funded plan using a captive in September 2015. They also added telemedicine, price transparency tools, and launched a high-impact wellness program with Corporate Health Partners (CHP).
  • From 2015 to 2019 the client attained a -1.13% trend.
  • They recently moved to an independent TPA and a new pharmacy vendor resulting in $125,000 in Rx savings.
  • This client understands that self-funding itself is not a destination, but a vehicle to offer employees better healthcare at a better price.
