Since 1995, I’ve helped self-funded health benefit plan administrators design and manage their company’s medical travel benefits. I introduce them to providers willing to sharpen their pencils and contract directly with employers at much lower rates than prices available through TPAs and ASOs or Reference-based pricing arrangements. Realize hard dollar savings with lower costs for the trust and plan participants and higher benefit satisfaction.

I come to you with no dog in the race. I am not a broker or agent. I have no network to sell, no PBM deals. I keep the TPAs, ASOs, and others honest. I charge an hourly fee for my time and answer questions and assess claims spend. If I travel to your location, I charge at actual cost for travel expenses.

I will help you negotiate directly with providers to eliminate middleman charges for surgical episodes of care under transparent, predictable, pre-negotiated case rates that include pre-op, destination and post-op care and outcomes and benefit satisfaction measurement. Provider settlement is managed as an extra-contractual payment by your TPA or ASO or, alternatively, you can pay these claims through a smaller, focused, TPA that can process single-line-item, bundled surgery claims from any provider in any country without hidden fees and costs.
