About Bob Gearhart
I am a Partner at DCW Group, a privately held employee benefits consulting firm that helps middle-market companies offer high-performing benefit plans that lower or remove financial barriers to high-quality care. With over 15 years of experience in the industry, I am a bestselling author, a Rising Star in Advising, and a Finalist for Broker of the Year.My mission is to create predictable, repeatable, and measurable reductions in health insurance costs for middle-market companies by innovating cost-containment and medical management strategies tied to their health plans\' performance. I challenge the status quo, expose the flaws of the traditional insurance model, and educate and empower my clients to make informed decisions about their benefits.

As the third generation to lead DCW Group, I’m responsible for continuing on our long legacy of helping companies manage their healthcare supply chain to improve benefits and increase their earnings. At DCW Group, we work with manufacturing companies to create predictable, repeatable, and measurable reductions in healthcare costs. We are so confident in our innovative cost-containment and medical management strategies that we will tie part of our compensation to the performance of our client’s health plans. Before many of our clients came on-board with us, they hadn’t ever viewed insurance professionals as being able to help their business grow and produce free cash flow in the process. This is because, historically, insurance professionals have never been able to manage or reduce costs. Understanding that 80% of healthcare costs can be managed allows you to find an insurance professional who can free up many thousands of dollars currently wasted by your benefit plan, that immediately goes into your free cash flow and operations.
