Your Premiums. Your Control. Your Savings.

Think of a captive like a group savings plan for healthcare.

Instead of sending all your premium dollars to an insurance carrier, employers band together, share risk, and keep more control over how their plan works.

When claims are lower, the savings stay with the group, not the carrier.

Simple idea. Big impact.

Curious how a captive could work for your team? Let’s talk.

Primary care shouldn’t feel rushed, hard to access, or impersonal. Yet for many employees, that’s the norm.

🎙️ In our newest episode of Healthcare Forward, Michael Schroeder sits down with Dr. Berry, Direct Primary Care clinician at Maple Health, to explore how Direct Primary Care (DPC) is reshaping the patient-provider relationship and what it means for employers.

DPC replaces the traditional fee-for-service model with a membership-based approach that prioritizes access, time, and proactive care. The result is a better experience for patients and a smarter strategy for employers.

You’ll hear:
• What makes Direct Primary Care different from traditional primary care
• How the DPC model improves access, communication, and continuity of care
• Why employers are increasingly integrating DPC into self-funded health strategies
• How DPC supports cost containment while improving employee engagement

When employees can actually see their doctor, ask questions, and get timely care, better outcomes follow.

Why do employers feel stuck at renewal?

Many fully insured plans offer simplicity, but not transparency. Employers pay the premium, absorb rising costs, and rarely see what is actually driving claims.

Regional Practice Leader Jack Schroeder explains how self-funding changes the equation by giving employers access to their data and greater control over healthcare costs.

Thoughts on the future of AI in healthcare benefits?🤔

Last month our founder and president Michael Schroeder had the opportunity to speak at Tulane University for an event on Business Careers in Healthcare.

When asked what skills students should make sure, they develop in today’s AI evolving job market, Mike shared that he believes, “Nothing will ever replace an intellectually curious mindset and common sense. AI will not work if those applying the solution do not stop and ask if it makes sense.”

We would love to hear — where do you think AI fits in?

Most employers say they want a better health plan. But few are willing to question the one they’ve always had.

One of our core values is being intellectually curious. It means asking better questions, challenging assumptions, and staying open to ideas that sit outside our comfort zones.

In a world where healthcare costs keep rising, curiosity is not just a value. It is a competitive advantage.

When advisors and employers look beyond the status quo and explore new models, they often discover options that deliver better care and stronger long-term savings.

Innovation starts with a willingness to step back and reimagine what’s possible.

We see it every day. The employers and advisors who ask the hard questions are the ones who uncover real savings.

Let’s raise the bar on curiosity going into 2026. Your team deserves it.

What’s one assumption about health benefits you think deserves a second look?

📊 Know what you’re really paying for healthcare

For most employers, health benefits are the second-largest expense after payroll, yet for many, healthcare budgets treat healthcare cost as a black box.

That’s why we believe in measuring, not guessing. By using PEPY (total annual healthcare cost Per Employee Per Year) as a benchmark, you get a real “cost-per-unit” view of your plan. It works like a financial scorecard.

With a clear PEPY baseline, you can then:
• Identify whether you’re overpaying and by how much.
• See which cost categories (drugs, claims, administration) drive overspend.
• Set realistic savings goals grounded in data, not guesswork.

If you’re ready to reclaim control over your healthcare costs and start using data instead of estimates, this blog might be the spark you need to jump into the new year.
