This episode of Raising the Bar features Jennifer Newell, who is a young, female entrepreneur whose life was majorly affected by a medical misdiagnosis. She did not let it slow her down! Instead, when she found out the right diagnosis, she did all that she could to raise awareness for the standard of healthcare that has been set for women. She talks about the challenges she faced and the perspective people have towards women and the healthcare facilities they have readily available. Tune into this episode to change your perspective on how healthcare is different for younger women! This episode is all fun and an eye-opener! You might say Betty's Co. found Jennifer first. At the age of 17, she was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, sending her as an infertile person to solo-navigate a space in healthcare that operated with pregnancy at its center. Her early exposure revealed a massive care gap. From starting their periods up to pregnancy planning, younger women simply were not getting care. Nearly 20 years after her diagnosis, women's healthcare looked very much the same. GO. Jennifer set out to create the change needed. Betty's Co. is a product of Jennifer's experience as a patient and as a professional, with nearly 15 years in healthcare and higher education marketing. Jennifer's earliest years in the world of healthcare consulting were spent on the other end of the phone with hospital, health system, and medical group CEOs discussing their physician alignment challenges and how to solve them. Throughout her career, she has built and nurtured several high-performing business development, content, and product marketing teams.

This episode of the #RockstarsRocking podcast features my rockstar friend, Allison De Paoli, Founder of Altiqe, out of the San Antonio, Texas area. Allison opens our interview with a hilarious story of being shocked about winning “Most Innovative Healthcare Consultant” at the YOU Powered Symposium, which she won despite only returning to the major medical side of the insurance industry a few years ago. She also talks about how she grew up in a family of insurance consultants, striking her own path, and eventually returning to her roots and founding Altiqe – modernizing her approach by focusing on teaching clients to be better consumers healthcare. We continue the conversation of modernizing processes with the changes she's made to enrollment and servicing strategies, the importance of electronic enrollment, and getting clients to recognize that they need to be involved with their money. She also touches on moving away from clients who can't or won't buy into her processes. We round out our interview with the idea that when you are making big changes, the best way to get everyone on board is to create a “shared common enemy”, rather than having the management and workers locked against each other. So, are you ready for more? Go ahead and grab your favorite warm beverage and tap that play button, to tune in to this week's edition of the #RockstarsRocking podcast.

099 The One About Health Insurance Episode 99: Show Notes As an employer and a business owner, I know how important it is to take care of the people that allow our businesses to function. If it were up to me, my team would want for nothing. However… With the changing climate of benefits and pricing of those benefits, some items can be out of reach. I have spoken with several company owners who used to have great benefit plans only to have to cut back on their offerings due to high price increases. Most of these owners express a concern that the people that work for them do not understand the strain these price increases can have on the company. Sometimes all the employee sees is a cut back in benefits. It is my hope that this show will educate both employers and employees about the twisting road of health care benefits. Our guest today is Allison De Paoli (dih-PAULY). Allison is an expert on health care benefits. Her superpower is being able to look outside of the box to find unique solutions that others might not of thought of. This episode will help you understand not only the issues behind your health insurance plan, but give you some things to think about and do.

Here's the link to Dr. Oz's video that was discussed during our interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1XNllFiEpo&feature=youtu.be The best employers inherently know that taking care of their employees means their employees will take care of their customers. Offering a benefits plan that takes care of the employee and doesn’t break the bank, that’s the dream. It can drive higher job satisfaction, improve morale and help with the ever-present issue of employee engagement. Most employers don’t know how to accomplish this – or even that it is possible! Allison De Paoli (dih-PAULY) wants every employer she works with to be in complete control of their healthcare spend – driving the maximum value from every dollar and allowing those saved dollars to grow the business and the bottom line. AND she’d like to deliver a world-class benefits program to those employees. Understanding how to drive those savings while finding a world class benefits package can be intimidating. Few insurance professionals understand how to get under the hood and tinker to make the plan work better. Allison does. And she’s here today to show us how. Learn more about your ad choices.

Allison De Paoli (dih-PAULY) has been shocking employers who were sure there was nothing they could do to control their healthcare spend. She positions that when you know where to look, you can cut huge portions of your healthcare spend while still serving your employees. As an industry […] The post How to Gain Control of Your Healthcare Spend with Allison De Paoli appeared first on Warren Wandling.
Allison De Paoli explains how to contain benefit spending and care for employees! When I was first introduced to Allison De Paoli, I wondered how you, our listeners and readers, would feel about her topic: how to control employer spending on healthcare benefits for their employees. I urge you to listen in before you judge whether this is really relevant to you. In fact, this is as much about you and your needs as it is about those of your company's CEO, employee benefits officer or budget director. Maybe you and your employer can find hidden costs that are driving benefits expenses up? I guarantee you, we can all gain from what Allison has to say. Taking care of those who make your company run If you are an executive worried about your rising healthcare benefits costs (often among the top three of your expenses), you must listen to this podcast and think about what you are doing. The best employers inherently know that taking care of their employees means that their employees will take care of their company's customers. Understandably, then, the goal is to offer a benefits plan that takes care of employees but doesn’t break the bank. This will produce higher job satisfaction, better morale, more employee engagement and better staff retention. The problem is that most employers don’t know how to accomplish this—or even that it is possible! Learn from an expert For years, Allison De Paoli has been shocking employers who were sure that there was little they could do to control their healthcare spending. As she shares in our podcast, Allison sweeps in and helps you “see, feel and think” about your healthcare spending in completely new ways, which is why we knew she was perfect for an On the Brink with Andi Simon podcast. (Maybe she's an anthropologist like us and doesn't know it?) She gets it and so will you! Allison's #1 goal: helping employers gain control of their healthcare spending Specifically, this means deriving the maximum value from every dollar spent and allowing those saved dollars to grow the business and the bottom line, all while delivering a world-class benefits program to employees. According to Allison, understanding how to drive savings while delivering top-quality benefits can be intimidating for most health insurance professionals. Few know how to get under the hood and tinker around with the components to make the plan work better. Allison does. And she's here today to tell us how. Here are some of the things Allison and I discussed: How supply chain management translates into healthcare and employee benefits What to focus on with healthcare: manage the claims, not the administrative How to shift your plan to focus on outcomes Healthcare management: how to find hidden cost drivers How to make a healthcare plan predictable and repeatable How to use your plan to drive employee engagement Allison's advice and proposals: Fee Transparency for everyone: Who gets paid what, and when. This includes your benefits advisor, hospitals, imaging centers, labs and every other component of the healthcare system supply chain. Alignment of the incentives for good care: There shouldn’t be competing interests between hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, all other providers of care and yes, benefits advisors. Access to quality care and understanding what quality care is: Make sure your employee gets it! Not only is providing quality care the right thing to do, it will save your plan a significant amount of money.

This is one of those episodes that proves that you don’t know what you don’t know. We’re tackling the subject of health insurance – how to manage costs as an employer since it is such a big-ticket cost for most agencies. I’ve been an agency owner for the past 25 years or so, and health insurance is something I want to offer because I value my team and want to provide a generous benefit package. But when renewal time comes around, I’m always wondering what kind of increase is coming. Like most of you, it’s usually in the double digits and super painful. Someone (me or my employees) has to endure that increase or we have to increase the deductible or reduce features. One thing I do know: For all of us, healthcare costs typically one of our biggest expenses and feels completely out of our control. I wanted to tap into the wisdom of Allison De Paoli, who works with businesses to get more out of every healthcare insurance dollar. She offered some incredible insight on managing the costs, increase the benefits to your team and protect yourself when it comes to renewals. A veteran of the insurance and benefits industry, Allison and her firm are members of Next Generation Benefits Network (NBN). NBN is a national alliance of elite independent benefits firms that are successfully challenging the healthcare status quo to improve benefits for employees, while reducing the costs for employers.

What are some features of an ideal health insurance environment?
Doesn’t it make you crazy when you know there is a better way to do something and you want to scream your head off until everyone else knows it too? That is how I feel about benefits — they are important, there are several stakeholders and sometimes competing priorities. And right now, the whole conglomeration is a big mess. There is one thing that all parties seem to agree on — the current situation cannot continue. Watch my Celebrity interviews on my YouTube Channel!
