We believe in being long term partners with our clients--not just suppliers of goods and services. Any employee benefit firm can offer a menu of services to be purchased off the rack. What we do is far more complete. For example, we have helped clients underwrite their own risk to maximize health care dollar spend, helped our clients add meaningful medical management programs to improve overall group fitness, provided "gaps in care" insight to address large claim generaters, normalized "cost" vs "billed" data for provider/facility comparison, implemented pharmacy audits and have brought electronic "shopping" to a market sorely lacking in innovation and creativity. Whether you're talking product placement, specific strategy, implementation or communications, we're experienced professionals. IBS is not a training ground for beginners who learn the business at client expense. We believe in financial responsibility. We are careful with our money and we will be good stewards of yours as well. We firmly believe in complete and total planning. The trick is to start with a complete understanding of our markets and our customers. Then, and only then can the creative process begin. Because of our fundamental beliefs, nothing but the best work will ever leave my organization.
