About Our Name
At Optimus, our name reflects our values: Reliability, Innovation, and Excellence. While "Optimus" may resonate with fans of the Transformers franchise, it also captures the essence of our mission in the healthcare industry. If healthcare were the Transformers universe, the battle might look like this:
The Healthcare Battle: Autobots vs. Decepticons
On the "planet" of healthcare, two factions face off: the Optimus Group (Autobots) and the entrenched players of traditional healthcare (Decepticons). The stakes? The future of healthcare—accessibility, affordability, and the well-being of patients and businesses.
Optimus Group (Autobots): The Heroes of Healthcare
We are the champions of innovation, transparency, and value-based care. Like the Autobots, our mission is to protect employers, employees, and patients from outdated systems that prioritize profits over care. Our goal is to deliver better outcomes through affordability, efficiency, and equity.
Traditional Healthcare (Decepticons): The Status Quo
In this analogy, the Decepticons represent large insurance companies, PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers), and healthcare systems. Their strategies often involve complex processes, opaque pricing, and profit-driven motives, leaving patients and businesses stuck with rising costs and limited choices.
Key Players in the Healthcare Universe
Optimus Prime (Optimus Group):
Like Optimus Prime, we stand for integrity, transparency, and empowerment. Our leadership helps businesses reclaim control over healthcare spending and shields them from exploitative practices.
Megatron (Insurance Giants & PBMs):
Representing the entrenched power structures, these players drive up costs through hidden fees, complicated pricing, and minimal regard for the patients and businesses they serve.
Bumblebee (Innovative Solutions):
Bumblebee symbolizes our allies--technology, third-party administrators, and healthcare disruptors--who help us implement cost-saving strategies and enhance patient care.
Human Allies (Employers & Patients):
Employers, employees, and patients often bear the brunt of inefficiencies and high costs. By partnering with Optimus Group, they can escape rising premiums and find practical, affordable healthcare solutions.
Traditional Healthcare: The Decepticons of Medicine
Core Values in the Healthcare Revolution
*Transparency and Fair Pricing*:
We utilize data and technology to uncover true healthcare costs, eliminating hidden fees and inefficiencies, so our clients do not overpay a system fraught with fraud, waste and abuse.
*Empowering Employers and Patients*:
Optimus Group restores decision-making power to businesses and patients, giving them tools to navigate healthcare with confidence.
*Innovative Care Delivery*:
We champion value-based care focused on outcomes, while legacy models still thrive in a broken healthcare delivery system, we utilize enhanced data and analytics to help direct employees and their families to the most effective and efficient solution available.
*Disruption for a Better Future*:
Through strategies like direct contracting and self-funded models, we challenge the status quo to build a better healthcare ecosystem.
*Elimination of Conflicts of Interest*:
At Optimus, we represent our clients and only our clients. We do not take financial incentives from carriers, TPA's, Stop Loss Companies, PBM's or others who provide services to our clients.
We get compensated through a basic monthly fee and a gain sharing model based on our clients' outcomes.
Our Tactical Approach
Direct Contracting:
By working directly with providers and pharmacies, we eliminate unnecessary middlemen and reduce costs for employers.
Data-Driven Insights:
We utilize analytics to identify inefficiencies, optimize care delivery, and help clients make informed decisions.
Strategic Partnerships:
Collaborating with innovators in telemedicine, wellness, and specialty care, we create a comprehensive healthcare model.
Education and Empowerment:
We educate businesses and patients, equipping them to navigate the healthcare system and access better care at lower costs.
Our Vision
A New Era of Healthcare
Victory for Optimus Group means transforming the healthcare industry into one that is transparent, affordable, and patient-centered. Just as the Autobots protect Earth, we strive to safeguard businesses and employees from the complexities of traditional healthcare. Together, we're building a future where better outcomes, fair pricing, and empowered decision-making are the norm-not the exception.
Join us in the revolution. Together, we'll bring sanity back to healthcare.
Our Solutions
Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Arrangement (QSEHRA)
QSEHRA is a cost-effective solution designed for small businesses to offer personalized health benefits. Employers provide tax-free reimbursements for employees' healthcare expenses, including insurance premiums and medical costs, allowing flexibility and control over healthcare choices while maintaining compliance with IRS regulations.
Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA)
ICHRA empowers employers of all sizes to offer flexible, tax-advantaged health benefits by reimbursing employees for individual health insurance premiums and qualified medical expenses. With customizable plan designs, ICHRA adapts to diverse workforce needs, giving employees the freedom to choose coverage that best suits their unique situations.
Self-Funding
Self-funding is a customizable approach to employee healthcare where employers take direct control over their health plan's costs and benefits. By assuming the financial risk for claims rather than paying fixed insurance premiums, businesses gain greater flexibility, transparency, and potential cost savings, especially with proactive healthcare management strategies.
Health 'Stop-Loss' Captives
Health Stop-Loss Captives offer an innovative way for businesses to manage healthcare costs by pooling resources with like-minded organizations. This strategy provides protection against catastrophic claims, reduces risk exposure, and enables cost predictability while fostering collaboration to achieve better health outcomes for employees.
Executive Benefits
Executive Benefits are specialized compensation and incentive programs designed to attract, retain, and reward top-tier leadership. These benefits often go beyond traditional offerings and may include deferred compensation plans, supplemental retirement programs, executive life and disability insurance, and performance-based bonuses. Tailored to align with organizational goals, Executive Benefits help secure the loyalty and long-term commitment of key executives.
Group Retirement
Group Retirement plans are employer-sponsored programs designed to help employees save for their future while fostering financial security. These plans may include 401(k)s, 403(b)s, pension plans, or profit-sharing arrangements. Employers often enhance the value of these programs with features like matching contributions, investment options, and financial planning resources, making them a key component of a comprehensive employee benefits package.

Don P., Chief Financial Officer | Mining Industry ★★★★★
The OptimusIQ Program from Optimus Group revolutionized how we approach employee benefits. As a CFO, I've seen plenty of consultants promise the moon and deliver far less. Optimus actually delivered beyond our expectations. They helped us reduce our healthcare costs by 22% while expanding our employees' care options. Their program gave us the control and transparency we've always wanted but never thought possible. The best part? Our employees are happier with their benefits than ever before.
Mike S., Vice President of Human Resources | Media & Advertising ★★★★★
When Optimus Group guaranteed specific results, I was skeptical – who wouldn't be in today's healthcare environment? But they backed up every promise with action. Their consulting approach isn't just about making recommendations; it's about partnering with you to implement real changes that stick. They helped us navigate complex benefits decisions with clarity and confidence. What really sets them apart is their accountability – they put skin in the game with guaranteed outcomes, and they've exceeded every benchmark they set. It's refreshing to work with a benefits consultant who actually stands behind their work.
Brody G., Vice President of Accounting & Finance | Service Industry ★★★★★
The financial impact Optimus Group has had on our organization has been nothing short of remarkable. Their consulting expertise and service level are unmatched in the industry. Within the first year, they identified and eliminated unnecessary costs that had been hidden in our benefits program for years. Their team's attention to detail and proactive service approach means we're always ahead of issues rather than reacting to them. The financial outcomes have been exceptional – we've seen a 28% reduction in our benefits spend while improving our coverage options. Every CFO should have Optimus Group on speed dial.
