Benefitial Conversations

Information is power and when you don't have access to good information, you're at a disadvantage.

In this episode, Kayla Shawn explains the how and why behind Healthcare Navigator and how it helps insureds take back some power when it comes to their healthcare journey.

From helping you identify high-quality providers in your area to explaining your benefits plan to bill review, Healthcare Navigator gives you access to the information you need in a digestible way.

In this episode, we talk with Stephanie Koch, HR Director of Hendry Marine, about her view on self-funding and building out an ecosystem of healthcare for her team.

She highlights her experience going from the fully insured side to alternative funding and what she has been able to accomplish.

From an on-site clinic to a transparent PBM, she discusses different strategies she has implemented and the success she has seen for her employees.

Whether you're a 25 year old looking for some basic term life insurance, a high-net-worth individual looking for estate planning help, or a company looking to use life insurance as a recruiting a retention tool, we cover it all in this podcast.

Dan Bergan is a Managing Director with Higginbotham and a Private Placement and Premium Finance Specialist. Listen as he explains the most basic of life insurance offerings, the complex offerings, and everything in between.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Austin Baker from Sholder is joining me to discuss all things Mental Wellbeing & Fitness.

Where traditional EAPs fall short in their engagement with employer groups, Austin and his team at Sholder have created a platform that serves as a shoulder to lean on, and a spaceholder for U.

Whether you're a small business or a large corporation, mental wellbeing and fitness is an important topic and benefit for your employees and platforms like Sholder have secondary and tertiary benefits to your company beyond simply giving them someone to talk with.

Implementing and running a successful wellness program can be a challenge. However, when done well, it is a great way to manage many of the chronic conditions and high-cost claimants on a company's health insurance plan.

In this episode of Benefitial Conversations, we sit down with Lia Lansky, Chief Wellbeing Officer for Baptist Memorial Hospitals, to discuss how she has had success not only with employees at the hospital, but also for independent businesses.

The cost of pharmacy claims on health plans continues to increase. What can groups do about it? Rachel Strauss brings her knowledge and experience to discuss all things pharmacy related to help groups win. We discuss rebates, GLP-1s, transparency, and much more.

Open enrollment shouldn't be the only time employees hear about benefits, and it doesn't have to be a drag. In this episode, Luke Aslesen discusses how engaging and educating your employees throughout the year, and capturing their hearts and minds, can lead to a better understanding of their benefits and a better experience overall.
