Health and Welfare Benefits

Demand for high quality, value and efficiency in health care delivery has never been greater among higher education institutions, as they strive to maintain attractive health benefit packages while managing their bottom lines.

Our consulting team includes experienced actuaries, insurance experts, claims auditors, managed care experts and client managers who are committed to helping higher education institutions address their unique health benefits challenges.

We approach health and welfare benefits from three overlapping perspectives:

  • Vendor Management: Working with vendors to secure the best services and prices for our clients
  • Plan Design and Management: Effectively designing and managing benefit plans
  • Individual Health Management: Encouraging employees to take responsibility for their own health
