Corporate Plan Management
Locally owned and operated third party administrator (https://corporateplan.net)
A knowledgeable claims administrator is a vital piece to the cost containment puzzle for employers. If your claims administrator is owned by your carrier, you are probably losing money each year unnecessarily. CPM is leading the charge for transparent benefits management in the midwest.

Effectively containing pharmacy costs could save your group plan upwards of 10% each year, as 35% of annual spend is devoted to pharmacy.

Quizzify
Your state of the art, proven, wellness program (https://www.quizzify.com)
Quizzify's mission is to create health-literate employees.

Quizzify is our solution; to create a culture of health and wellness, organizations must promote health and healthcare education.
Everyone Health
Price transparency at its finest (https://everyonehealth.com)
Traditionally, medical services have been billed using the Fee for Service (FFS) model. This model prices the medical treatments after treatments have been rendered. Now that just doesn’t make sense to anyone.Over the last seven years our team has been dedicated to contracting for all-in, transparent, usable, and consumable prices better known as “actual prices”.
We see a world where medical treatments are unaffordable and sought to make them affordable by partnering with private practice physicians. By the thousands they reached out to us and taught us the business of healthcare. It is only through their good nature that we have more than 100,000 medical treatments, their locations, and prices available for consumers and employees.

Hostcare Resources
Why not get a free second opinion? (http://www.hostcareresources.com)
Domestic medical travel is becoming a hot topic in our country! More and more companies are recognizing that you don’t have to pay outrageous costs for exceptional care. Let me say that again! There are highly skilled and highly rated surgeons located here in the United States that deliver quality care without all the inflated costs you’re likely to see at local medical facilities. It’s not uncommon to see these inflated costs increase medical procedures by sometimes more than $40,000. You may be saying to yourself, “That’s crazy!” And we would agree!
