Advice Reimagined. Benefits Reinforced.
VSMG is committed to delivering expert advice, forward-thinking strategies, and cost-effective benefit solutions to help our clients attract and retain employees.
Whether your challenges are related to cost, population health, legislation, administration, disease management, employee recruitment, retention, education, or all the above, we deliver effective solutions that exceed goals and objectives.
The VSMG Difference
As a nonprofit corporation, we know the importance of maximizing budget dollars in all areas, and having access to independent, comprehensive expertise and financial advisement.
That’s the VSMG difference.
Independent Consulting Partners
Unlike other consulting firms that have high overheads and hefty retainers, we partner with independent, third-party experts. VSMG’s consulting team is partnered with the top nationally and regionally recognized experts in specialized areas to best serve the needs of each client. Our experienced in-house consulting team works closely with our independent experts to stay in front of industry trends and drive results for our clients.
Hays | Brown and Brown, Inc., the 5th largest independent insurance brokerage firm in the nation, provides VSMG clients with unparalleled, independent actuarial, underwriting, and compliance services.
GBS provides VSMG with independent Pharmacy Consulting and Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) services. Their In-house pharmacist is exclusively focused on serving our clients’ pharmacy benefit programs.
This collaborative approach is focused on delivering tangible, sustainable solutions that bring true value to our clients and strengthen their organizations from within.
