The Gallagher Difference.


The Challenge.

A client was in the midst of acquiring and consolidating a number of healthcare providers. The integrating of the various subsidiaries into one new entity prompted a review of the total property and liability risks. Additionally, our client had to consider the implication to its benefits and HR programs as employees of the various entities did not have the same choices in benefits plans.

Our action.

We assembled a team of specialists to consult with our client, taking the time to learn about the organization’s challenges and identifying opportunities for cost savings, better risk coverage, and a benefit program that worked for all of their employees, and across organizations.

The Result.

Through discovery, we discovered several ways to save them money as well as close risk gaps during and after the mergers and acquisitions process. We developed solutions and negotiated:

  • $8 million in projected savings for a private provider stop-loss program
  • 24% savings on more complete medical malpractice coverage
  • 18% savings on property and liability coverages
  • improved commercial auto coverage at 65% of market rate
  • improved fleet safety program
  • integrated healthcare platform with high deductible health plan options; annual increase held to under 5%
  • 18% savings on ancillary benefits

Healthcare Practice summary

  • Mergers and acquisitions consulting
  • Deep understanding of state level regulations
