If you’re an insurance broker, providing mental health services is no longer considered a “bonus” benefit. According to a recent study, offering employers the ability to choose from mental health services is essential.
Uprise Health’s study with HR leaders uncovered that “more than a third say their broker had ‘not helped their company provide more ways for employees to access care for mental health, wellbeing, and chronic illnesses.’”
Human resource professionals are looking to their brokers to offer these solutions. Proactively including holistic services in your offerings may be just the difference between keeping or losing a client.

An estimation of nearly one million workers will be diagnosed with cancer in 2022. Wheelhouse provides a dedicated focus for this significant problem in several ways. To highlight two solutions, first, Wheelhouse’s oncology nurse experts empower cancer patients through clinical decisions. Secondly, cancer coaches address the often-overlooked mental health aspect of the cancer journey. Wheelhouse changes cancer’s impact across the nation by filling the gaps in the traditional healthcare system.
“I’ve noticed brokers and consultants are becoming more and more invested in the overall wellbeing of their clients’ populations,” Ben Frank, co-founder and CEO of Wheelhouse says. “Just like in healthcare, value is becoming a driving force for the future of employer benefits, and I think the consultant industry has really embraced this. We’re now seeing brokerage and consulting firms pay for wellness services and offer them free to their clients because they know it will improve their overall value proposition while simultaneously improving the lives they cover. It’s a refreshing shift in our industry and I think we’ve only seen the beginning of this new paradigm.”
