Core offering

Altiqe Consulting is an independent employee benefits advisory firm that delivers a structured Health Plan Diagnostic engagement and a 3-5 year Strategic Roadmap to US-based mid-size employers (100-500+ employees). The firm specializes in health plan redesign, pharmacy cost control (including specialty drug and PBM pricing), vendor contract negotiation, fiduciary compliance under ERISA and the Consolidated Appropriations Act (2021), and ongoing quarterly stewardship. Services are sold as multi-year advisory engagements, with add-on capabilities such as Direct Primary Care strategy, onsite clinic development, behavioral health network optimization, and Centers of Excellence contracting.

Product overview

Altiqe Consulting is an employee benefits consulting firm offering a unified advisory service rather than a software platform. The core offering centers on the Health Plan Diagnostic process, which includes deliverables such as the Plan Snapshot, Pharmacy Red Flags Review, Stop-Loss Readiness Review, Fiduciary Compliance Checklist, and a 3-5 year Strategic Roadmap. These services are delivered through a five-step engagement model: Executive Briefing, Alignment Plan, Deep Analysis & Blueprinting, Implementation, and ongoing Stewardship & Continuous Oversight. Add-on specialized services include Pharmacy Strategy, Vendor Contract Management, Direct Primary Care (DPC) Strategy, Onsite Clinic Development, Behavioral Health Network Optimization, and Centers of Excellence contracting. The company also provides free tools like the Instant EBITDA guide and publishes content including the 'Raising the Bar' podcast, the documentary 'It's Not Personal, It's Just Healthcare,' and the book 'Breaking Through the Status Quo.'
