2025 MCF | Celebrating a Decade of Innovation

Maximize Alignment

How Employers Can Take Control
of Their Healthcare Cost and Profit

April 30 & May 1, 2025 | Hotel Cleveland

Discover a Better Way Forward in Healthcare

Traditional healthcare models have left employers frustrated with rising costs and poor outcomes. At Roundstone’s 10th Annual Medical Captive Forum, we’re redefining what’s possible. This premier event invites Employers, Benefit Advisors and Account Managers to explore the self-funded group medical captive strategy that puts control and savings back where they belong – with employers.  

Join us to witness how our innovative approach allows employers to:

Unbundle and Optimize

Expose inefficiencies in traditional health plans and rebuild them into cost-effective, tailored solutions.

Save and Reinvest

Experience real savings and keep the money you don’t spend.  

Take Control

Regain decision-making power over your healthcare strategy.  

Our double-digit growth is driven by employers who are leaving the traditional, fully insured model behind – and thriving with a smarter alternative.
