Control Today’s Costs. Plan for Tomorrow.

Healthcare Cost Management FAQs
Q: Can I reduce costs without cutting benefits?
A: Yes. Through self-funded plans, ICHRAs, and contribution modeling, we create sustainable strategies that protect both your budget and employee satisfaction.
Q: What is a self-funded health plan?
A: It’s a plan where the employer pays claims directly, often supported by stop-loss insurance, for more flexibility and transparency.
Q: Is ICHRA right for my business?
A: If you want more choice and predictable costs, an ICHRA allows employees to buy individual coverage using employer-funded, tax-free dollars.
Q: Can you forecast next year’s renewal costs?
A: Yes. Our actuarial modeling and data analytics help project costs months in advance so you can plan proactively.
Q: How can you help with pharmacy cost management?
A: We design custom pharmacy strategies — including PBM audits, formulary reviews, and rebate analysis — to lower prescription drug spend.
