About this episode

Lisa L. Levy discusses innovative strategies for simplifying healthcare benefits with Dan Cosgrove.

Healthcare costs are crushing employers—and too many benefit plans are still built around a broken system. In this episode of Disrupt & Innovate, Lisa L.

Drawing on his 20-year journey in healthcare, Dan shares innovative strategies that help businesses simplify their benefit plans, better align HR and finance, and empower employees through preventative care.
