Using innovative solutions to control costs

In today’s market, employers expect their benefit advisors to bring them new ideas to control costs. Today’s guest, Christopher Fisher, Founder & President of BenefitsAlly, finds companies that are doing unique things that can take employers beyond the traditional method of increased employee responsibility.

We discuss the three hallmarks of “intelligent health care solutions.” Chris believes that advisors who use those ideas and come up with creative solutions are going to thrive, and those who continue on the same old path will soon fade away.

Our conversation also explores new ways that benefits advisors can leverage historical data and make strategic recommendations to reduce future costs. Since this is a new conversation for many advisors, we talk about how to broach that discussion with employers and how to provide them with concrete solutions based on the analysis of that detailed, granular data.
