Case Study: Private University Reduces Premium Spend by 20%

When a group insurance program didn't measure up for this higher education organization, the CFO invited Hylant to review their program.

Even though others had pressured the university to stay in the group insurance program, the CFO followed his fiduciary instincts to obtain another opinion with Hylant. The university was rewarded with better coverage, better rates and an active partner in risk management.
