The Benefits Table

In the first episode of The Benefits Table, Marcie Strouse of Capitol Benefits Group talks with Leisa Fox about why employers should expect more than a plan comparison and an annual renewal quote. They discuss rising health care costs, direct primary care, level-funded plans, voluntary benefits, and Medicare options, with a focus on finding coverage that fits each employer and its employees.

Marcie also explains what a benefits advisor should do after enrollment: educate employees, help with administration and compliance, and step in when claims or prior authorizations become difficult. Drawing on her legislative advocacy work, she encourages employers to ask three things of an advisor: independence, dependable service, and a willingness to bring new solutions to the table.

Where policy, people and practical solutions meet.
