Most benefit advisers are considered experts in navigating the complex world of employee health benefits and dealing with group health insurance. Most health providers, including doctors, nurses and other professionals, are great at focusing on their initial calling — which is helping people feel better. 

But how often do the two groups intersect in a meaningful way? Far too often, all of these practitioners operate in their own silo with unaligned interests that can lead to gaps in care. With so much perversity still baked into the system, it has never been more necessary than ever before for producers and healthcare professionals to develop a more symbiotic relationship on behalf of patients.
