Helping hospitals, health systems and healthcare physicians meet their people needs

Gallagher has developed operational and people strategies that support hospitals, health systems and healthcare physician groups in attracting and retaining talent, within a sustainable cost structure while recognizing evolving cultures and reducing risk.

The Gallagher healthcare team supports you with risk management, financing, HR, compensation and benefits solutions to address business challenges such as:

Merger and acquisitions risk
Managing your margin
Improving quality and customer service
Excelling at Population Health Management
Developing new business partnerships
Enterprise Risk Management

Alternative risk and financing healthcare programs

We help our healthcare clients control costs and risks by using alternative risk instruments including single-parent captives, group captives, and risk retention groups to self-insurance, reinsurance placement and loss portfolio transfer. These instruments are also useful tools in facilitating direct contracting discussions with employers.

Collaborative and managed care organizations

As healthcare providers face increasing demands from regulation and tort reform, Gallagher has developed risk management solutions that provide medical liability coverage for physicians and enterprise risk coverage for risk-bearing provider groups.

Our HR, compensation and benefits team can aggregate benefit plans to drive economies of scale and create rich sources of healthcare data for analytics and population health management success stories. And last year our Pharmacy Benefits Management experts consulted with over a dozen Health Plans and MCOs to optimize their contracts with Pharmacy Benefit Managers.

Our Action.

We assembled a team of specialists to consult with our client, taking the time to learn about the organization’s challenges and identifying opportunities for cost savings, better risk coverage, and a benefit program that worked for all of their employees, and across organizations.

The Result.

Through discovery, we established multiple ways to reduce costs and close insurance coverage gaps during and after the consolidation process. We developed solutions and negotiated:
