ABOUT JIM LODGE
Prescription drug programs are often complex and confusing to both employers and the employees that utilize them. But, there are ways to break it down so that you get to the bottom line costs associated with them and the most effective ways to get the right drug at the right time in the hands of the patient. I can help. I have over 30 years of advisory experience. Early in my career I began consulting with senior executives and large organizations on their group insurance plans, as well as traveling around the world building HR programs for companies that would foster healthy work environments via the most efficient technologies.Eventually, I reached a point in my career where I decided I wanted to become my own boss and took the plunge to make a drastic job change and started an agency helping individuals who did not have access to employer-sponsored medical plans. My true passion is helping people and organizations as well as connecting with others in related professions. In my current role, I\'m able to leverage all of my experience in working with organizations to provide perhaps the most visible component of their benefits program, their prescription benefits. My sole objective is to educate my clients about the varying ways these benefits can be structured and help them determine the most beneficial way for the organization and, more importantly, for the employees that need that type of care. I absolutely love my job!
