Episode 2208 notes Today , Stephen Combs and Ryan Ross from BrokersBloc, and how their approach to this business is significantly different than anything I've seen out there. And if you're a broker and you're looking for a better way to do business, an innovative way to do business, this show is a must-listen! Stephen: “We're just trying to show brokers that there are alternative solutions out there, and there's a million out there, some really good, some really bad. So we have carefully vetted all of our carrier partners, looked at the paper that they're on on the reinsurance, the networks, the PBMs, and make sure that the package is a cohesive tech stack that bundles together nicely, that has a good user experience. We have built a suite of products that are, again, non-disruptive to the employee and the employers, but they can save them money on some of the low-hanging fruit things, such as the pharmacy benefit manager and some steerage as well around hospital claims…” This is Season 22 Ep 8 of America’s Healthcare Advocate.
