At CORE 2025, leaders did more than listen—they gained actionable strategies designed to tackle the biggest cost drivers impacting today’s workforce and bottom lines. For CEOs and executives tasked with maintaining competitive benefits programs amid relentless cost pressures, BSI’s focus on cost containment and value optimization resonated deeply throughout the Summit.
Sessions explored advanced approaches to healthcare cost control, including self-funded plan strategies with tailored stop-loss protections and targeted pharmacy spend management—two of the most effective levers for bending the cost curve in 2025. These insights are backed by case studies where employers realized savings upwards of 20%, while simultaneously enhancing benefits to attract and retain top talent.
Val Lewis, our COO, shared her compelling healthcare journey highlighting how targeted employee advocacy and patient navigation programs not only improve outcomes but also reduce costly medical interventions. It’s a powerful reminder that cost containment doesn’t mean sacrificing care; it means investing smarter—leveraging data and individualized support to contain unnecessary spend while elevating employee well-being.
The results from our post-event survey reinforce these themes: 92% of attendees reported that compliance and cost-management sessions will directly influence their plans in the coming year. As healthcare costs rise and regulatory landscapes evolve, our data-driven approach and consultative partnership model provide the clarity and agility CEOs need to stay ahead.
BSI is here to offer more than guidance—we deliver measurable impact through innovative network design, value-based contracting, and continuous program evaluation powered by advanced analytics. We invite you to bring these strategies into your organization’s playbook and experience how true championship cost containment is achieved.
