A 35-person healthcare practice — rebuilt the right way.

The client

The starting point.

A 35-person healthcare provider in Tennessee — already offering medical, dental, vision, and a $10,000 employer-paid life policy. The structure was in place. The design, economics, and service weren't working.

Premiums climbing, with no clear path to relief — renewal after renewal, and an agent who'd gone quiet.

A network too narrow for the staff's actual doctors — employees paying out of network for routine care.

Service had quietly disappeared — questions unanswered; the prior agent barely showed at renewal.

01 — Group benefits

Group benefits, rebuilt.

Graceview Partners rebid the medical program against the full market — and brought back richer coverage at materially lower cost.

~45% lower
Employer premium, vs. the prior medical plan
~$39K
Year-one employer savings, on medical premiums alone
$25–$650
Staff out-of-pocket monthly savings, per employee
Life + STD
Added voluntary options — a more robust, full offering
  • Lower deductible, out-of-pocket max, and copays.
  • Larger provider network — the team's actual local doctors, back in plan.
  • Guaranteed-issue life and paycheck protection offered to staff.
  • Proactive advisor guidance throughout the cycle.
02 — Operations

Payroll & HRIS.

The practice was exited from a PEO and onboarded onto a top-5 payroll platform — with HR, training, and compliance moved alongside.

$13K+/yr
Saved on payroll administration & admin fees
$6K+/yr
Saved on HR, training, licensure, onboarding & compliance
Exited
PEO arrangement — no more bundled fees
Top 5
Payroll provider platform, single source of truth
  • One system for payroll, onboarding, HR, and certification tracking.
  • Licensure and continuing-ed modules for clinical staff.
  • Cleaner year-round reporting.
  • Better service via dedicated reps.
03 — Tax structure

Tax savings, structurally.

A Section 125 plan was implemented — letting employees pay qualified premiums pre-tax, and trimming the employer's payroll-tax burden in lockstep.

~$5K/yr
Employer savings in reduced payroll-tax exposure
$15–$100
Employee savings per month, per staff member
Section 125
Mechanism — pre-tax benefits election
Quiet
Administration — one-time setup, no hassle
Year one

The first-year picture.

$60,000+
Total employer savings — across group benefits, payroll & HR administration, and tax structure, in year one.
$500 – $9,000
Year-one savings per staff member, with richer coverage and a wider network.
