In the face of rising premiums and lack of data transparency with his company\u2019s health insurance plan, Geoff Rowson, senior vice president of sales at Totem Solutions, decided to look for better options.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a leading employee benefits consulting firm, Totem routinely recommended Roundstone\u2019s self-funded health insurance solutions to their clients. So, it was natural for Rowson to turn to Roundstone\u2019s group medical captive to build a better benefits plan for his own company. The results proved that Totem made the right move.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

By switching to a group medical captive plan with Roundstone, Rowson could implement a direct primary care plan for Totem employees and move to a zero-deductible plan for the company. These turnkey solutions saved Totem over $6,000 in their first year and led to a mention in INC Magazine\u2019s<\/em> list of best workplaces for 2021.<\/p>\n
