Report
Bret and Blackrock Benefits Team were able to lower our employee benefits costs by 28%. Our company had been on traditional fully insured medical plan with United Healthcare for years. Bret moved our company to a self-funded medical plan. The self-funded plan lowered our medical and dental costs by 28% saving us rough $40K a year. This is huge for us.
Thanks,

Report
Blackrock Benefits saved our company over $10k per month moving us from a Select Health medical plan to a self funded medical plan. For a mid-sized company that's a lot of money.
