Health Plan Analysis and Consulting

We can get to the bottom of your healthcare spending dilemma. Insurance carriers know how to buy low from medical providers and sell high to employers. They are vastly profitable entities with huge overhead. The privatized healthcare financing system supports and endorses the idea of profiting off you. In almost all employer situations, the incumbent broker who sold you the product is being paid unethical backdoor bonuses called contingent compensation arrangements to steer you to their carrier of choice. To make matters worse, in fully-insured arrangements, the agent is the agent of the carrier and the carrier shields its agent from critical information related to your losses. Having an insurance license is a license to sell you a product for a commission, not a degree in healthcare finance.

Houston Benefit Services is different. We analyze and consult and we would prefer to work as fee based consultants rather than agents of carriers. In multiple situations, HBS has discovered that employers were being misled by their agents and the carriers related to actual spending. HBS will get to the bottom of the situation and show you where your money actually goes. We keep our carrier relationships at a distance so as not to be corrupted or negatively influenced by their tactics. For examples of our work click here.

Full Service Benefits Agency and Brokerage

Houston Benefit Services strategically chooses to keep it's carrier relationships at a distance. We work with proven partners whom we trust to care for and service your business. We can get you the products you want and need and we can do so while maintaining control and acting in your best interest as an employer. We see health and other benefits as a means to insure your employees contribution to the business by keeping them healthy not as a means to get rich. Traditional carriers may be part of the benefits products you need, we can get you exactly the same products any brokerage can get you at the same price all of them can, but we can also design superior financing systems using the Federally mandated model of benefits deliver structured under ERISA. This model has significant strengths and weaknesses which need to be discussed as part of our consulting packages.
