• Ep #66: A HIT-chat with John Montague // Surest: A New Approach to Health Benefits (PART TWO)
    Jul 30 2024

    A Health care plan with no deductibles, no coinsurance, no narrowing of the network, it’s running 10-15% below for employers and it’s running members about 50% less in out of pocket expenses!? Sounds too good to be true? This is part 2 of our 3 part talk with John Montague. I have to admit I am so insanely excited for these episodes. I found this to be one of the most innovative things in the health care space that I’ve seen in almost 18 years of doing this job.

  • Ep #65: A HIT-chat with John Montague // Surest: A New Approach to Health Benefits (PART ONE)
    Jul 23 2024

    "It's estimated that in our country, between 25-30% of the annual healthcare spend in an annual year is classified as waste." - John Montague (Surest)

    It’s not an exaggeration to say this episode talks about -- what I consider -- one of the BIGGEST, most major shifts I’ve seen in YEARS in healthcare. In a world where everything is “huge news," actual huge news can be drowned out."

    Jul 17 2024

    "I started with the company as an HR generalist. Was in operations, restaurants my entire career. I kind of got to the point where I was just working, working. Never had time for my family. Kids were getting older. I loved the HR aspect of the operations part of my job. The people. So I went into HR. Moved my way up, three promotions, now I'm the director of HR." - Russell Carney

  • Way Back Wednesday: A HIT-chat with Shelly Tam // CPO, Premier America Credit Union
    Jul 10 2024

    "I think the workforce is evolving. I think our parents approached work as, this is something that is legacy, you're going to be there long term, your entire life. For your loyalty, you're going to get some sort of retirement benefit. Things have changed, obviously, in the last 50 years. That doesn't happen anymore. The new generation, especially Gen-Z and Gen-B on, are looking for something more than just work. They want, not only engagement, but purpose. They want to resonate with the work that they do. And how it impacts their community." ~ Shelly Tam.
