?“It's the second largest line item that a company has, but they will stroke a check every month for a fully insured program without having data to support what those costs are for.” - Stephanie Koch
I invited Stephanie on to hear the employer perspective on the industry, but ended up getting so much more, as she’s truly on the cutting edge of healthcare benefits for her company Hendry Marine. We discussed what it’s like to deal with Reference-Based Pricing as an employer, why mobile clinics save lives and are crucial to self-funded plans, and why it’s so important to seek out nontraditional healthcare solutions in the current market.?
No matter what aspect of our industry you work in, everything we do is for employers and employees, and there’s so much insight to gain from forward-thinking benefits managers like Stephanie.?
