In this episode of the Cutting Edge Benefits Podcast, host Tom Quigley of ClaimLinx and co-host Neil Haley break down exactly how to analyze your company’s health plan like a CFO—with cold, hard numbers and a strategic mindset.

Whether you’re a C-suite executive, a fractional CFO, or a business owner trying to get control of rising healthcare costs, this episode provides the real talk (and math) you need to see just how much you could be overpaying—and how easy it is to turn that liability into a profit-generating asset.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to stop throwing money away and start auditing their health plan with the same scrutiny they bring to every other business expense.

✅ Why CFOs Should Be Leading the Health Plan Conversation
Tom shares how many mid-sized companies (50–500 employees) leave health plan decisions to HR—when CFOs are the ones who understand the math and should be driving the strategy.

✅ How to Shift Health Premiums from Expense to Asset
If a company is spending $100,000 too much on health insurance, Tom explains how that savings can be reallocated as a financial asset—contributing to EBITDA and improving business valuation.

✅ The Power of a Free Health Plan Audit
ClaimLinx performs quick, number-driven audits that show companies how much they’re losing—and how much they could save. One client saved $60,000 with just 22 employees after Tom helped them unlock tax breaks they didn’t know they qualified for.

✅ Why Most Brokers Fail CFOs and Business Owners
Tom exposes the truth behind insurance brokers:

• They pitch the same overpriced options year after year.

• They’re incentivized by commissions, not your bottom line.

• They rarely optimize for ACA subsidies, Section 105 reimbursements, or prescription rebate programs.

✅ The Data Doesn’t Lie
Tom walks through key stats:

• Only 8% of people under 65 hit a $5,000 deductible annually.

• More than half of those qualify for programs that reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs.

• With a proper reimbursement plan, only 4% of employees will actually “cost” the employer anything substantial.

✅ Why ClaimLinx Works for Companies of All Sizes
Whether you have 5 or 5,000 employees, the ClaimLinx model works because it’s grounded in data, compliance, and common sense. Tom emphasizes that the savings aren’t hypothetical—they’re predictable based on 20+ years of real-world data.

• If you're a CFO or financial decision-maker, healthcare should be treated like every other expense: audited and optimized.

• Most companies are leaving money on the table—sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.

• ClaimLinx isn’t about selling insurance—it’s about fixing the structure of how you buy it.

• With the right guidance, businesses can reduce costs by 30–60% without sacrificing employee benefits.

“Most CFOs love numbers—but they’re not allowed to make the call on benefits. That needs to change.” – Tom Quigley

“Only 8% of people under 65 hit a $5,000 deductible. Insurance companies want you to think it’s 100%.” – Tom Quigley

“It’s just math. But the system is built on keeping people confused.” – Tom Quigley

In this insightful episode of the Cutting Edge Benefits Podcast, host Tom Quigley and co-host Neil Haley welcome Anthony McMahon, a consultant and team member at ClaimLinx, to discuss what makes the ClaimLinx healthcare model so powerful—and why traditional insurance brokers are losing ground fast.

Anthony shares his journey from helping Tom with LinkedIn campaigns to becoming a full-time advocate for the ClaimLinx model. His mission? Help businesses understand that better healthcare benefits and massive savings are not only possible—they're surprisingly simple.

If you’re a business owner, HR leader, or employee frustrated with rising premiums and watered-down coverage, this conversation will completely change how you look at group health insurance.

✅ Anthony’s Journey to ClaimLinx
Learn how Anthony went from a digital marketing consultant to a full-time ClaimLinx strategist after witnessing firsthand the simplicity and effectiveness of the model.

✅ What Makes ClaimLinx Different
ClaimLinx isn’t selling insurance—it’s selling a strategy. Anthony breaks down the model:

• Keep your existing insurance carrier for stop-loss protection and networks

• Use IRS Section 105 and a Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (MERP) to self-fund expenses

• Reduce premiums by up to 50% or more

• Provide employees with better benefits and higher take-home pay

✅ Why Most Brokers Don’t Want You to Know This
Traditional brokers get paid more when you spend more. Their compensation is tied to your premiums—not your success. ClaimLinx flips that model by getting paid based on how much they save you.

✅ Who This Works For
From businesses with 3 employees to companies with 300+, the model works at any size. Anthony explains the sweet spot for maximum savings: companies with 5–50 employees who are stuck paying inflated rates and getting ignored by their brokers.

✅ The Real Decision-Maker
Hint: It’s not HR. Anthony shares why owners and executives must be the ones to hear the ClaimLinx pitch—because only they feel the pain in the P&L.

✅ Battling Broker Resistance
Once brokers catch wind that their client is talking to ClaimLinx, they fight back—but it’s usually too late. ClaimLinx shows business owners how much they’ve overpaid and how much their employees have suffered from bad benefit structures.

✅ Why This Matters—Now More Than Ever
With the U.S. economy still in flux, inflation putting pressure on margins, and healthcare costs on the rise, businesses can’t afford to leave savings on the table. ClaimLinx lets them save without reducing benefits, and in most cases, enhancing them.

• ClaimLinx helps businesses save 30%–60% on healthcare—with better benefits for employees.

• Section 105 MERPs allow businesses to self-fund part of their healthcare in a tax-advantaged way.

• Traditional brokers have a conflict of interest—getting paid more when you spend more.

• Business owners, not HR, need to lead the conversation.

• Employees win too, with lower deductibles, better plans, and less financial stress.

“This is the simplest, most effective solution I’ve ever sold. And it helps everyone—employers, employees, and families.” – Anthony McMahon

“The catch? There is no catch. The catch is you’ve been overpaying all along.” – Tom Quigley

“If you’re only shown one option year after year, how would you ever know there’s something better?” – Anthony McMahon

🔍 In This Episode:🎯 Key Takeaways:📣 Memorable Quotes:📍 Ready to Save?

In this eye-opening episode of the Cutting Edge Benefits Podcast, host Tom Quigley of ClaimLinx and co-host Neil Haley pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked—and most expensive—problems in business today: the hidden truths of working with traditional health insurance brokers.

This episode dives deep into the conflicts of interest, kickbacks, and behind-the-scenes deals that insurance brokers and carriers don’t disclose. From manipulated renewals to hidden pharmaceutical rebates, this conversation is a must-listen for business owners, HR leaders, and employees who want to understand how healthcare really works—and how to stop overpaying.

✅ Why Employees Don’t See the Full Picture
Tom explains how most employees don’t realize that their employer is often paying 5–6x more than what employees contribute toward their premium. This reality only hits home when someone receives a COBRA notice and sees the true cost of coverage—often over $2,000/month for a family.

✅ How the Insurance Industry Profits Off Confusion
Learn how:

• Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) make money off drug rebates that aren’t shared with you

• Brokers choose carriers based on bonus incentives, not what’s best for the client

• Insurance companies negotiate big discounts while employees still overpay

• Brokers push low-deductible “rich” plans that benefit them—not your employees

✅ The Game Behind the Game
Tom walks through how brokers:

• Present inflated renewals, then negotiate them down to look like heroes

• Block competing agents from accessing client data

• Earn more commission by selling dental plans and other high-margin add-ons

• Make more from hidden carrier bonuses than from disclosed commissions

✅ Why Section 105 Still Matters
Tom reemphasizes the power of IRS Section 105, a tax law from 1954 that enables employers to restructure how healthcare benefits are delivered—offering better coverage at a fraction of the cost.

✅ Why Brokers Aren’t Talking About This
Most brokers don’t even use their own products for their businesses. Why? Because they know how broken the system is. Tom calls out the disconnect between the industry’s sales pitch and what’s actually best for clients.

• Brokers work for themselves—not for your business.

• Most insurance reps operate in a system designed to extract more money from employers without providing better coverage.

• With the right structure, companies can cut healthcare costs in half while improving employee benefits.

• Employees are kept in the dark—and business owners are misled—by a system that rewards opacity.

“You’re not working with brokers—you’re running with thieves. Between the PBMs, carriers, hospitals, and agents, there are four groups making money off your ignorance.”

“If you don't see the light after a 10-minute call with me, you may never see it.”

If you're ready to take control of your healthcare costs, see the full picture, and stop enriching brokers and carriers at your expense…

🔍 In This Episode:🎯 Key Takeaways:📣 Real Talk from Tom:📍 Ready to See the Light?

In this enlightening episode of the Cutting Edge Benefits Podcast, host Tom Quigley and co-host Neil Haley are joined by Ed Lyon, attorney, tax strategist, and founder of the Tax Master Network, for a revealing conversation about how business owners can go beyond basic accounting to truly transform how they manage and reduce taxes.

Whether you're a business owner looking to keep more of what you earn or an advisor ready to level up your strategic thinking, Ed shares the tax strategies the IRS doesn't want you to know—but the tax code allows.

This episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who's tired of watching profits disappear into the IRS's hands.

✅ Why Most Accountants Are Rule Followers, Not StrategistsEd explains the fundamental difference between CPAs and attorneys:

• Accountants are trained to follow rules.

• Tax attorneys learn the rules so they can help clients take advantage of them.

✅ The Problem with “Box Fillers”Most CPAs are focused on reporting, not planning.They’re entering numbers into forms, not looking for ways to eliminate or redirect taxable income.

✅ 3 Layers of Strategic Tax ReductionEd breaks down his powerful framework for reducing taxes:

1. Avoid reporting income at all – legally structure your income to avoid it appearing on your personal return.

2. Offset reported income – use deductions, charitable strategies, or side businesses to reduce taxable income.

3. Replace taxes with credits – for example, using the solar energy tax credit to redirect payments from the IRS to an investment.

✅ A Real Example: The Solar Tax Credit StrategyInstead of paying $100,000 in tax to the IRS, a business owner can:

• Invest that $100,000 in a solar project.

• Get a dollar-for-dollar tax credit.

• Receive $150,000 in depreciation over five years.

• Create a return from money they were already going to pay in taxes.

✅ How Ed and Tom Work TogetherTom helps companies save money on healthcare—but without Ed’s planning, much of those savings can go right back to the IRS.With ClaimLinx and Ed Lyon together, businesses can save and KEEP their money.

✅ A Fun Exchange on Financial Literacy and BrandingTom, Neil, and Ed discuss how people don’t know what they don’t know—especially when it comes to taxes, insurance, and financial strategies.They even joke about geckos, wrestling moves, and spoofs on the Geico commercials. But the message is clear:Serious financial knowledge delivered with humor makes it stick.

• Most business owners are leaving money on the table by relying on reactive accountants.

• Legal tax strategies exist to eliminate income, reduce taxable exposure, and redirect dollars to investments that build wealth.

• Combining healthcare savings with strategic tax planning creates maximum profit retention.

• The tax code is full of opportunities—if you have the right guide.

In this celebratory episode of the Cutting Edge Benefits Podcast, host Tom Quigley of ClaimLinx and co-host Neil Haley announce a major milestone — the podcast is now officially available on Apple Podcasts.

Why does that matter? Because Apple Podcasts is the top platform for podcast downloads, and now thousands more business owners, HR directors, and employees can discover how ClaimLinx helps companies save thousands per employee while offering better benefits.

Neil reflects on the early days of podcasting and the evolution of the medium, sharing insights from his own long-running media journey. Meanwhile, Tom drives home the importance of ClaimLinx's core solution — built on the power of a little-known tax law from 1954, IRS Section 105 — which has helped companies save millions.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why being on Apple Podcasts is a big step for spreading the message

• A quick recap of how Section 105 allows businesses to legally restructure their benefits and reduce healthcare costs

• Real-world examples of companies saving over $1 million annually

• A behind-the-scenes look at how Tom’s partnerships lead to long-term savings and real income potential for those who refer others

Tom also shares an open offer: he’s working on a 20% shared-savings model. That means if you refer a company and Tom saves them $1 million, you could earn $200,000. All while the business owner pockets the remaining $800,000 in savings — a true win-win.

Neil and Tom have some fun imagining future branding ideas, including creating a mascot to rival the Geico gecko — and the possibility of Tom launching a dance on TikTok.

Whether you’re a podcast listener, a small business owner, or a curious employee looking to help your employer save big, this episode is your reminder: it’s time to rethink employee healthcare.

In this episode of the Cutting Edge Benefits Podcast, host Tom Quigley and co-host Neil Haley sit down with Amy McDonald, Service Manager at ClaimLinx, to talk about what really happens behind the scenes when a company joins ClaimLinx.

If you’ve ever wondered how the savings happen, who supports your employees day-to-day, or what sets ClaimLinx apart from traditional insurance carriers, this conversation is a must-listen.

✅ What Happens After a Company Signs Up
Tom explains how once a group decides to partner with ClaimLinx, the service team—led by Amy—takes over to ensure smooth onboarding, ongoing member education, and personal support.

✅ Dedicated Support from Day One
Amy shares how ClaimLinx assigns a dedicated service manager to each client group, providing:

• One-on-one education for employees

• Help understanding dual insurance cards (primary + ClaimLinx)

• Guidance on prescriptions and provider billing

✅ Massive Savings—Without Sacrificing Benefits
ClaimLinx not only helps companies lower costs dramatically—they enhance the benefits their employees receive. Amy and Tom walk through real examples of clients saving thousands annually per employee while improving care access.

✅ Real Human Help (Not Robots)
Unlike big carriers, ClaimLinx doesn’t outsource support. When you call, you get a real person who actually knows your plan and wants to help—whether you’re an HR leader or an employee at the pharmacy.

✅ Fighting for the Member
Amy explains how the ClaimLinx team helps:

• Dispute incorrect medical bills

• Apply manufacturer rebates on prescriptions

• Locate grants and savings programs that most people don’t know exist

• Step in when providers don’t bill insurance correctly

✅ Examples from the Front Lines
Tom shares a hilarious and eye-opening story about helping strangers at a CVS pharmacy save hundreds on prescriptions—on the spot—just by knowing what to ask for. Most pharmacies don’t volunteer that a coupon or grant is available. ClaimLinx does.

✅ Patience and Education Are Key
It’s not always instant—especially with hospitals or emergency room billing—but Amy and her team walk members through the process step by step with compassion and clarity.

✅ It’s a Family Thing
From doggie daycare to workplace culture, Tom and Amy also share how ClaimLinx operates like a family, with a team that genuinely enjoys what they do and works closely together.

• ClaimLinx isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about people helping people.

• Employees and HR teams get ongoing support, not a handoff to a call center.

• The ClaimLinx model lowers premiums, increases coverage, and adds real human support to a broken healthcare system.

• If your company is overpaying for benefits and overwhelmed by medical billing… you don’t have to do it alone anymore.

In this special launch episode of the Cutting Edge Benefits Podcast, host Tom Quigley teams up with Neil Haley to celebrate the show’s debut—while breaking down why ClaimLinx is disrupting the outdated world of health insurance for businesses.

This short but powerful episode covers the core problem with traditional group health insurance, the incredible simplicity behind the ClaimLinx strategy, and why so many business owners are overpaying for benefits that don’t actually benefit anyone.

✅ Why Live Streaming the Podcast MattersYou never know who will hear the message that could save their business hundreds of thousands of dollars.

✅ The Industry’s Best-Kept SecretTom explains how most businesses are still operating under old laws and outdated assumptions—and how ClaimLinx simply follows the math and uses modern tax law to change everything.

✅ The Customer Service MythInsurance agents win when they sell the policy. After that? You're stuck calling 800 numbers. ClaimLinx is different—they stay with you from A to Z, handling everything directly with a human touch.

✅ The Numbers Don’t LieTom explains how business owners are afraid to switch plans out of fear or loyalty to agents who are adding no actual value. Most can't even explain what their agent does for them.

✅ The Marketplace MistakeBusiness owners often go straight to Blue Cross or Anthem instead of understanding how to leverage Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies and section 105 tax laws. Tom simplifies the complex and delivers results.

✅ Cutting Out the MiddlemanTom compares the current health benefits system to buying lobster: direct from the fisherman it’s $3—at the grocery store it’s $10. Why? Middlemen. ClaimLinx removes the middlemen.

“If you're a company with a current group health plan and think your agent is better than Tom—I’m willing to bet otherwise. If Tom can't beat your price and give you better benefits, I’ll give you a free celebrity interview on my show. Let’s see what your agent’s really doing for you.”

“How they’re able to sell you this high-cost garbage is beyond me. And I’m sitting here showing you a way to make it simple—with better benefits for less money. And people still hesitate?”
