Benefits Consulting Services
[/split_line_heading][vc_column_text]Too many employers are held hostage by the current process of procuring employer-sponsored healthcare, which is designed to keep company leadership teams in the dark, with false choices in the face of skyrocketing costs. As a result, this situation quickly leads to an overloaded benefits department, frustrated employees, and runaway costs that keep running. Totem is a benefits consulting firm that designs and implements customized healthcare benefit plans that save clients between 8% and 29% while ensuring their employees get better benefits at a lower cost.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” el_class=”benefits-consulting-acc-col” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][toggles style=”minimal”][toggle color=”Accent-Color” title=”Medical Plan Design”][vc_column_text]Most CEOs, CFOs, and HR leaders have been led to believe that reducing their healthcare spend simply isn’t possible. By leveraging innovative strategies, we ensure that the right medical care is being provided at the right place, for the right price. Instead of accepting an 11% renewal each and every year, employers can save 8–29% on their medical spend, while improving both the quality of care and the member experience.[/vc_column_text][/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” title=”ACA Strategy, Compliance, & Reporting”][vc_column_text]

These tools are integrated with the TPA, UM firm, and employee concierge for seamless employee communication. For example, ER visits, generic vs. brand opportunities, and place of service opportunities are used for member engagement and outreach purposes.
- We offer plan analytics that enable employers to understand the clinical cost drivers of their health plan, including utilization and cost for procedures, diagnosis, place of service, and providers. This allows for trend analysis for the entire plan — down to the member level.

- We help identify high risk and emerging high-risk members through predictive modeling.
- We provide executive analytics dashboards along with custom reporting with benchmarking data to meet the employer’s complex reporting needs.
[/vc_column_text][/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” title=”Direct Primary Care”][vc_column_text]Direct Primary Care is a growing trend that employers are increasingly taking advantage of. Studies show that when patients spend more time with their primary care providers, their health improves and their medical spend decreases. With more time for each patient, physicians can practice up to the extent of their license and will refer to specialists less often.
