As 2025 comes to a close, many employers are rethinking what “normal” has meant for their health plan.

Annual increases.
Limited visibility.
Little control.

It doesn’t have to stay that way.

We offer a way to move beyond annual surprises and into a model built on transparency, shared protection, and smarter long-term decisions.

The biggest takeaway we hear?
Control changes the conversation.

As you plan for 2026, what’s one thing you want to do differently with your health plan?

Thoughts on the future of AI in healthcare benefits?🤔

Last month our founder and president Michael Schroeder had the opportunity to speak at Tulane University for an event on Business Careers in Healthcare.

When asked what skills students should make sure, they develop in today’s AI evolving job market, Mike shared that he believes, “Nothing will ever replace an intellectually curious mindset and common sense. AI will not work if those applying the solution do not stop and ask if it makes sense.”

We would love to hear — where do you think AI fits in?

Most employers say they want a better health plan. But few are willing to question the one they’ve always had.

One of our core values is being intellectually curious. It means asking better questions, challenging assumptions, and staying open to ideas that sit outside our comfort zones.

In a world where healthcare costs keep rising, curiosity is not just a value. It is a competitive advantage.

When advisors and employers look beyond the status quo and explore new models, they often discover options that deliver better care and stronger long-term savings.

Innovation starts with a willingness to step back and reimagine what’s possible.

We see it every day. The employers and advisors who ask the hard questions are the ones who uncover real savings.

Let’s raise the bar on curiosity going into 2026. Your team deserves it.

What’s one assumption about health benefits you think deserves a second look?

📊 Know what you’re really paying for healthcare

For most employers, health benefits are the second-largest expense after payroll, yet for many, healthcare budgets treat healthcare cost as a black box.

That’s why we believe in measuring, not guessing. By using PEPY (total annual healthcare cost Per Employee Per Year) as a benchmark, you get a real “cost-per-unit” view of your plan. It works like a financial scorecard.

With a clear PEPY baseline, you can then:
• Identify whether you’re overpaying and by how much.
• See which cost categories (drugs, claims, administration) drive overspend.
• Set realistic savings goals grounded in data, not guesswork.

If you’re ready to reclaim control over your healthcare costs and start using data instead of estimates, this blog might be the spark you need to jump into the new year.

We asked. You answered. Here’s what we learned:
Throughout 2025, we surveyed hundreds of webinar attendees about their benefits strategies, data access, and biggest challenges. The answers painted a clear picture:

⚡ Data is power, but most still don’t have it.
When we asked about access to the information needed to run a high-performing health plan, the gaps were impossible to ignore.

Employers want to make smarter decisions. They just aren’t getting the transparency they need to do it.

💡Curiosity is rising, and that’s something worth celebrating. When access to health plan performance data improves, everything becomes possible: better decisions, better pricing, and a better experience for your people.

🔍 Being willing to question “how it’s always been done” is the first step, and our results show employers are ready to dig deeper toward building a better benefits plan and proving access to better solutions for their employees.

👏 We applaud everyone who showed up, asked questions, and chose to learn. That mindset is how meaningful change begins.

As we head into 2026, one question remains:
What’s one area of your health plan you’re most curious to understand better?

What can a nurse’s experience in crowded operating rooms abroad teach us about reducing healthcare waste here at home?

In our newest episode of Healthcare Forward, Michael Schroeder sits down with Lisa Grobmyer, a Roundstone Claims Review Nurse, to explore how clinical expertise can uncover real savings. From spotting red flags in claims to identifying unnecessary procedures, Lisa shows how a trained eye can protect members and employers from avoidable costs.

Her story highlights a simple truth: smarter care leads to better outcomes and lower spend.
