Explore our range of services designed to help you move forward with confidence, wherever you're headed next.
Health Plan Sourcing That Shares the Risk
Employee health benefits are often among an organization’s largest and fastest-growing expenses. We work alongside employers and their internal benefits, HR, finance, and leadership teams to help employers assess current plan structures, evaluate market alternatives, and source health plan solutions designed to improve cost, value, transparency, and employee experience. We bring independent analysis, disciplined sourcing, and practical support—helping your team make confident decisions while retaining control of the process.
For qualified employer-sponsored health plan sourcing engagements, Supply Chain Intelligence LLC works on a savings-based contingent fee. You pay only when verified savings are achieved.
Our work is informed by the rare combination of benefits, actuarial, legal, and procurement experience—bringing both technical rigor and sourcing discipline to an especially important business decision.
Broader Sourcing and Advisory Support
While employee-sponsored health plan sourcing is our central focus, Supply Chain Intelligence LLC also provides selective strategic sourcing and advisory services. These engagements may include procurement support for a variety of mission critical products and services.
We also help organizations evaluate organizational design, improve process efficiency, and strengthen capabilities through practical training and implementation support.
Case Studies

Large Enterprise Cost Recovery
A Fortune 100 manufacturer with a multi-state, self-funded plan covering 25,000+ employees faced a steep 14% renewal increase — despite already holding a best-in-class brokerage agreement. Through a procurement-focused overhaul of its Medical and PBM contracts, we recaptured $12.4M in annual savings, with our fee funded entirely by the money we put back on the table.
Read the Full Case Study
Partner Profile: A Fortune 100 Manufacturing leader managing a complex, multi-state self-funded plan for over 25,000 employees.
The Strategic Gap: Despite maintaining a "best-in-class" brokerage agreement, the organization was burdened by a 14% renewal increase.
The Consultative Strategy: We executed a rigorous, procurement-focused diagnostic of the Medical and Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) contracts. This was followed by a structured RFP designed to uncover hidden market efficiencies.
Operational Execution: By transitioning to a transparent supplier model, we eliminated hidden spreads and re-aligned facility charges through utilization audits and contractual integrity reviews.
Business Impact: Successfully recaptured $12.4M in annual capital without compromising the integrity of employee benefit levels or plan design.
Aligned Incentives: Our engagement was risk-free, with a performance-based fee structure funded entirely by a percentage of the realized $12.4M savings.

Mid-Market Strategic Transition
A regional technology firm with 2,450 employees saw premiums outpacing revenue growth and had no clear path to move off a fully-insured plan without taking on unmanaged financial risk. By engineering a custom self-funded model with a built-in safety net, we cut total healthcare spend by 12% and secured a $180,000 premium refund for the company treasury.

Partner Profile: A Regional Technology Firm with 2,450 employees seeking to move from fully-insured to alternative funding models.
The Strategic Gap: Rising premiums were outpacing revenue growth, yet the firm required a solution to mitigate the financial volatility inherent in self-funding.
The Consultative Strategy: Leveraging 40+ years of proprietary actuarial data, we engineered a custom "Self-Funded" model with a built-in safety net to ensure budget certainty.
Operational Execution: We re-engineered the cost structure by auditing facility billing errors and implementing a transparent, pass-through Rx pricing model.
Business Impact: Delivered a 12% reduction in total healthcare expenditure and secured a $180,000 premium refund for the company treasury.
Aligned Incentives: Compensation was tied directly to the measurable reduction in plan costs, ensuring our success was dictated by the client's ROI.

Specialized Procurement
A high-growth professional services firm with 235 employees was handed a standard 11% renewal quote and told its size ruled out sophisticated procurement strategies. A deep Plan Health Check uncovered inflated prescription costs and administrative spreads, allowing us to deliver a flat 0% renewal while actually enhancing pharmacy benefits for the workforce.
Read the Full Case Study
Partner Profile: A high-growth Professional Services Group (235 employees) prioritizing elite benefits to attract top-tier talent.
The Strategic Gap: Challenged by a "standard" 11% renewal quote and the market misconception that their size precluded them from sophisticated procurement strategies.
The Consultative Strategy: We performed a "Plan Health Check" to identify structural inefficiencies within the underlying plan documents and claims data.
Operational Execution: Targeted and corrected aggressive contractual terms that allowed for inflated prescription costs and administrative spreads.
Business Impact: Achieved a 0% (flat) renewal while simultaneously enhancing the pharmacy benefits for the workforce.
Aligned Incentives: Our contingency-based fee was calculated based on the capital recaptured relative to the initial 11% market quote.
The savings-based contingent fee model applies exclusively to employer-sponsored health plan sourcing engagements. Other sourcing and advisory services are structured under separately agreed engagement terms designed to meet your business needs.
