If you want better results in terms of health insurance, then you need a different approach. Michael Menerey is helping businesses find health care strategies that are effective and cost-friendly. He joined us to discuss his "Reconstructing Healthcare" movement and his book The CEO's Guide to Lowering Healthcare Costs by 30%.
Does the constant talk about rising healthcare costs worry you as you balance the benefits you offer your employees with the bottom line? If so, you will want to hear how Michael Menerey collaborates with private firms and public agencies to bring a fresh approach to offering employee benefits with a goal of lowering their costs while enhancing their value to all parties involved. A senior vice president with Alliant Insurance Services, Michael Menerey launched his Reconstructing Healthcare podcast in 2017 as a platform for discussing the factors that escalate healthcare costs. He seeks innovative approaches that provide better value with reduced costs. By creating a new dialog, he seeks to educate employees and managers of ways they can lower healthcare costs. In this episode, Michael Menerey explains how the status quo is untenable. We need to explore different approaches, including a plan to offer benefit alternatives that provide our employees the flexibility to select less expensive options that may be available through another nearby pharmacy or clinic. This makes more sense than continuing to keep the same rigid plans while shifting more of the escalating co-pays and deductibles to our workers. If an MRI costs our present plan $3,000 but our employees still have to pay a deductible, we should have the ability through better transparent pricing in the industry to steer the employee to another location outside of the plan that performs the same procedure for a fraction of the cost. Michael Menerey also encourages benefits managers to consider reimbursing those who can find cheaper prescription prices outside of our plan if the savings benefit the employer and employee in the long run. I hope you enjoy this important conversation!

You'll learn a lot about what can be done to manage employee benefit costs. Don't miss this one! You probably are thinking, "Yes, healthcare is really broken." What happened and what can we do about it? Just look at what has occurred as a result of the current consolidations. Where are all those cost savings that were promised? Over the last 16 years, health insurance premiums have increased by over 201% and employee contributions towards healthcare premiums are up 350%, and this trend is only expected to continue. If you run a business, listen to how Michael could help you, the same way he helps other employers restructure their health plans to yield lower costs and improved benefits for their employees. In this highly informative podcast, he shows you how to find alternatives to the usual health insurance strategies. You know you don't want higher costs, so what can you do to find better solutions? Michael's answer is simple: If employers want better results, they have to scrap the traditional health insurance structure and leverage creative strategies in the marketplace to proactively lower their health insurance costs. He is an expert at this, and he shares his wisdom with us so we can do it too. If you want better results, you need a different approach. "Traditional Health Insurance is a game you're guaranteed to lose," proclaims Michael's website. It goes on to say—and this is what Michael expands upon in our podcast—that we are at a unique point in time where "technology, capital and innovation all seem to be converging upon a healthcare industry that has been resistant to change and successful at keeping new entrants at bay." Michael's out to change that, challenging the status quo approach to benefits and constantly evaluating new healthcare products, vendors and strategies that can drive down costs and create value for employers, employees and their dependents. Passionate about helping businesses, he offers video training and other educational resources and hosts the podcast series Reconstructing Healthcare that explores what is wrong with the current U.S healthcare system, examines what drives higher healthcare costs and exposes deficiencies in traditional insurance products. Michael recently published "The CEO's Guide to Lowering Healthcare Costs by 30%" to help business owners and executives begin to see the inefficiencies in traditional healthcare purchasing and also to provide a roadmap on how to get better results. Recently, he was recognized as one of Risk & Insurance Magazine's 2017 Power Broker® Rising Stars.
