"If we can take that [financial] anxiety away from them to where they can focus on their health, that's our mission, that's our cause. That's what we want to do." - Brett Morris
Brett Morris joins me on the podcast for a conversation revolving around the Samaritan Fund Program, which he developed to help those individuals and families who have been physically and financially devastated by a medical diagnosis.
He directly works with employers and employees, helping to mitigate high-cost medical expenses on the employer’s end while enabling them to help their employees when they most need it.
An interesting side effect of the Samaritan Fund is that it enables employers who would otherwise go fully insured due to specific high-cost claims to afford self funding their business.
Join us on today’s show as we talk about the human impact of the Samaritan Fund and Brett’s unique approach to helping employees and employers.
