On this episode of ShiftShapers podcast, we interview Craig Scurato, founder and managing member at Simplifi Benefits. Post-PPACA, Craig has crafted some tools and techniques that make the process of writing group insurance less painful for employers – allowing them to turn ACA into a competitive advantage.
Included in Craig's strategy is a unique approach to creating and deploying direct pay primary care networks by working with physicians eager to find new practice models themselves.
Coupled with educating employers and employees about the benefits of using a health care allowance (Section 213(d) of IRC) and providing a comfortable environment with decision support and other tools, Craig has crafted an interesting and scalable model.
