Tactical, year-to-year management misses opportunities. Strategic planning looks ahead—where you want to be in three years, what path gets there, and what investments produce lasting improvement. Strategy beats reaction.

What is Strategic Planning Support?

Strategic Planning Support helps employers develop and execute long-term strategies for healthcare benefits.

Strategic planning asks bigger questions: What should our benefits program look like in five years? What capabilities do we need to build? What investments will pay off over time?

This long-term perspective enables better decisions. Tactical choices align with strategic direction. Investments build toward bigger goals. Progress becomes measurable against meaningful objectives.

Why Do Most Employers Lack Benefits Strategy?

Most employers renew their health plans year after year without questioning the underlying assumptions. Brokers present options, carriers set rates, and leadership approves budgets based on incomplete information.


The result? Companies overpay for benefits employees don't use while missing coverage gaps that create real risk. They accept premium increases as inevitable rather than addressable. They lack visibility into where their money actually goes.


A Healthcare Risk Assessment changes that. It gives you the data and insight to make informed decisions, negotiate from a position of strength, and take control of one of your largest operating expenses.

How It Works

Strategic planning develops and executes long-term direction.

Assessing current state: where you are, what's working, what isn't, and what opportunities exist.

Vision Development

Developing strategic vision: where you want to be, what success looks like, and why it matters.

Roadmap Creation

Strategic planning is an ongoing process:

• Initial strategy development (often in year one)

"What could have been data driven, was soon a conversation. Over 3 years with the best coaches, listeners, advisors you could ask for. If Monique didn't have an answer readily, she would note it, research it, and then update you on the answer. Always a positive meeting. Highly recommend!"

  • Is this the same as telemedicine?
    No. Clinical support provides guidance and triage, not diagnosis or treatment. We help employees decide when and where to seek care.
  • How many nurses will be assigned to our company?
    Assignment depends on your company size and typical utilization. Smaller companies may share a primary nurse with backup coverage. Larger organizations get dedicated teams. Either way, employees experience consistent relationships with clinical professionals who know them.
  • Who answers calls in the middle of the night?
    Board-certified nurses from your Weltrio clinical team. We staff night shifts with experienced nurses who have full access to your company's benefits information and employee interaction history. It's not an outsourced answering service.
  • What protocols do nurses use for triage?
    Our nurses use evidence-based clinical decision support protocols developed from emergency medicine and primary care best practices. These protocols are regularly updated based on current medical guidelines and are customized for telephone/virtual assessment settings.
  • How much does an unnecessary ER visit actually cost?
    Average ER visits cost $2,200 or more—even for minor issues. Add lab work, imaging, or specialist consultation and costs climb quickly. The same conditions treated at urgent care typically cost $150-300, and telehealth visits run $50-75.
