Employers and employees are in a tough position...

Rising costs and reactive care are plaguing the US healthcare system.
Employees are not getting the care they need and employers and
employees are paying the price. Fortunately, there are measures employers
can take to begin to mitigate this growing cost, and it all begins with
working with the right partner.
Katz/Pierz is that partner. We work with you to develop a strategy to
educate employees and design cost containment tools to help achieve the
financial outcome you seek and improve perceived value.

Is your benefit program

where it is today because...

a) You have successfully executed a multi-year strategy

or

b) Youve made a series of reactions to premium increases

Are you ready to stop making one-year reactive decisions and
create a thoughtful and deliberate multi-year strategy?
