Our Model

Where Parasol May Be a Fit

Parasol Health may be worth introducing when a client needs greater control over healthcare costs without creating unnecessary disruption for employees.

Renewal Pressure

The employer is facing another substantial increase with few viable alternatives from the current carrier.

High-Cost Groups

Medical claims, pharmacy spend, or large-cost events are making the current plan difficult to sustain.

Disruption Concerns

The employer wants stronger cost management without giving up broad provider access.

Complex Workforces

The group has multiple locations, varied employee populations, or plan needs that cannot be addressed through a standard approach.

Limited Plan Flexibility

The current structure does not allow the employer to target the areas driving the most spend.
