Most brokers focus on one thing: the premium. Get you a lower rate, collect their commission, see you next year. That's not how we work.
BENEFITSOLOGY™ is the system we developed after 15+ years of noticing that businesses consistently leave money on the table in the same predictable ways — not because they're careless, but because nobody ever looked at the whole picture at once.
What BENEFITSOLOGY™ Actually Analyzes
We look at six dimensions simultaneously:
- Premium vs. claims ratio — Are you paying for risk you're not actually carrying?
- Contribution architecture — How the employer/employee split is structured for tax efficiency
- Carrier performance — Is your carrier paying claims fairly and processing them quickly?
- Employee utilization patterns — Where is healthcare actually being consumed, and why?
- Ancillary benefit gaps — What's missing that could be added at zero employer cost?
- Compliance exposure — Are you meeting ACA, ERISA, and Section 125 requirements?
Why This Matters More Than Just Shopping Rates
Shopping carriers is table stakes. Any broker can do that. The bigger opportunity is usually in how your plan is structured — not which carrier you're with.
We've seen companies switch carriers and save $50,000. We've also seen companies keep their exact same carrier but restructure their contribution model and save $120,000. The premium isn't always the problem.
The $332,599 Example
Our most-cited case study: a 102-employee manufacturer in Central California who came to us after their broker of 11 years delivered yet another renewal with a modest increase.
We ran a full BENEFITSOLOGY™ analysis. The issues weren't all with the carrier — some were structural. By combining a carrier move with a contribution restructure, a level-funded carve-out for a subset of employees, and the addition of three voluntary benefits at no employer cost, we produced a $332,599 annual savings.
That's not a typo. And it's not cherry-picked — it's what a comprehensive analysis can find when nobody has been looking carefully.
How to Get One
