About
Meet Tim Hawley
National group health insurance consultant, strategist, operator, author, and advocate for employers and working families.
On Stage and In Print
Tim teaches benefits advisors across the country how to protect employers and win self-funded groups, and his work is featured in the #1 Amazon bestseller Fixing American Healthcare.
The health insurance industry is rigged for one thing and one thing only: maximizing its profits on your back. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Employers and the advisors who serve them can break the status quo with three things:
- Real cost containment, year-round and not just at renewal
- A long-term strategy that smooths out volatility, so one bad claims year doesn’t wreck the budget
- Compliance done right, because as the plan sponsor, the fiduciary responsibility is yours
Shopping the renewal every year isn’t a strategy. It’s exactly what the system wants you to do.
Tim Hawley, speaking at the national Ascend Conference in Atlanta, Georgia
Outside of work, Tim gives back through Lift 2 Limitless, a faith-based organization he founded to lift up people who need help.
