How Dual Option Turned an RBP Skeptic Into an Advocate | Ep. 23

Convincing consultants to bring reference‑based pricing to clients isn’t easy. Paul Saunders, executive vice president at Saunders & Company, knows firsthand as someone who once was "totally opposed" to RBP. That changed when he saw how a dual‑option approach could work: pairing a traditional health plan with a lower‑cost RBP option and letting members choose what fits them best.In this month's episode of ClaimTalk, Saunders joins ClaimDOC’s Omar Arif and Stephanie Mohr to explore how dual‑option plans help brokers address rising renewal costs without forcing employers into an all‑or‑nothing decision. They explore why offering choice may be the most practical path to affordability, client confidence and long‑term satisfaction.
