An Employee’s Guide to the U.S. Healthcare System - St. Charles MO

With close to 20 years of experience in employee benefits, including the provider, carrier and HR space, Julie brings a multi-pronged approach to help employers navigate the complex health insurance environment.

After starting her career in an oncology practice, she spent several years at one of the largest Ph*rm*cy benefit managers. From there, Julie spent 5 years working with HR professionals at a consulting firm where she helped small HR teams recruit, develop, and retain top talent.

With a strong Ph*rm*cy benefit background and experience working with jumbo employers, Julie can help employers tackle their highest healthcare costs through learned strategies from some of the largest companies in the nation. Most recently, Julie brought digital health programs to enterprise employers across the Southeast to help reduce overall healthcare spend.
