Full bio
Jennifer Addis brings more than 32 years of leadership and consulting experience spanning the employer, provider, health plan, and consulting sectors of the employee benefits industry. Her unique background provides a perspective rarely found in traditional employee benefits consulting.
Throughout her career, Jennifer has served on both the employer and consulting sides of employee benefits. She has led employee benefits strategy and administration for employers, worked within a health plan and a regional health system, directed PPO network operations, negotiated provider and payer contracts, developed innovative funding strategies, and advised employers on complex employee benefits challenges. Having served in executive leadership roles responsible for benefits strategy, network management, population health, and consulting, she understands the decisions employers face because she has made many of them herself.
Jennifer specializes in helping organizations evaluate funding alternatives, optimize plan performance, improve employee access to quality care, strengthen vendor partnerships, and identify innovative strategies to better manage healthcare costs. Her expertise includes fully insured, level funded, and self-funded health plans, pharmacy strategy, direct contracting, compliance, population health initiatives, and alternative funding solutions.
Jennifer believes the best benefits strategies are built by understanding an organization's people, culture, financial objectives, and long-term goals, not simply by marketing insurance plans. She is known for developing customized solutions that align with each employer's objectives while building long term partnerships based on trust, responsiveness, and measurable results.
