Listen Later

Healthcare costs keep soaring while the service remains the same. In this eye-opening episode Chelsea is joined by Andy Najjar to dissect the complex web of incentives, transparency, and innovative strategies within the employer-sponsored healthcare landscape. 

Najjar pulls back the curtain on how large agencies often push for higher bonuses at the expense of clients, the crucial need for compensation disclosures, and why many brokers inadvertently contribute to rising healthcare costs. They delve into the "renewal game," the significant differences between brokers and advisors, and the immense financial burden high healthcare costs place on employees. 

Listeners will gain valuable insights into why incentivization structures are flawed, how transparent health programs can stabilize and even reduce costs, and the critical importance of fiduciary responsibility and documentation in decision-making. By the end of the episode, you'll be better equipped to scrutinize your broker's fees, understand the myths surrounding healthcare costs, and explore more cost-effective and proactive strategies for your business. Plus, don’t miss the exclusive preview of Najjar’s upcoming healthcare documentary and its potential to drive transparency and change in the industry. Get ready to transform how you approach healthcare benefits with this essential episode.
