"Compliance does not have to be a burden. It doesn't have to be hard. It can be a value differentiator and an opportunity to really help people." - Jen Berman

Jen Berman joined me this week to close out our trilogy of compliance episodes. We focused on why regulations exist, the purpose of recent legislation like the CAA, and why it’s important for consultants to learn the compliance process.

Jen is the CEO of MZQ Consulting (not an acronym, as we discuss in the episode), a leading provider of compliance solutions in the industry. Recent compliance has shifted the burden onto employers to make sure their plans are compliant, including making sure that their mental healthcare is in parity with normal healthcare. 

As Jen said on the episode, compliance is typically viewed as a burden, but for consultants, it shouldn’t be: it’s an opportunity to differentiate yourself in the market and provide a next level of service to employers.

Join Jen and I this week for another compliance-focused episode of Self-Funded.
