How Transparent is Your Broker?

Provider Network Strategy and Design to Deliver Value-Based Care Programs
Smart brokers are bringing a whole new service to their clients: transparency. But what does transparency mean for your business? It starts with better disclosure of costs from health care plan providers. CMS released its new health care price transparency rule earlier this year. It portends to force hospitals to lay out their pricing strategies and provide consumers with considerable pricing disclosures. The goal is to create a more competitive care delivery landscape, that will empower consumers with the ability to have more control over the costs of care.
But transparency goes far beyond this. While showing costs is essential, transparency is also about making benefits understandable to the employees. Smart employers are demanding that their brokers provide services to help curb employee health care spending habits. as well as helping workers pick the right plan. It is about personalization: personalized in benefits education, as well as personalized enrollment and benefits communications services.
If your broker isn’t bringing transparency services to your business, maybe it is time to find a new partner. At TRUEbenefits, we pride ourselves on our service and our transparency. We will work with you to design and deliver employee benefit strategies that match your culture, help you contain costs, and drive greater value from your benefit investment.

5 年Thanks David. We created TRUEbenefits in 2005 because we felt there were too many "hands in the cookie jar." Too many of our competitors were suggesting solutions that put more money in their pockets instead of suggesting solutions that were in the best interest of the client. That notion still rings true now that we've helped to create the Alera Group nationally. Give us a call. You won't be disappointed . . .?
