Kelly Fristoe
Kelly believes that all hard-working Americans deserve access to a transparent and fairly priced health care system. Health care tends to be something that we all purchase prior to knowing the price or quality. That’s simply unacceptable in today’s times. He is NOT a health insurance “generalist”. He IS a health care financing “SPECIALIST” and as America’s health care system continues to become more complex, confusing and costly, it’s more important now than ever to have the right strategic partner/advisor to help navigate these challenges for better health and well-being outcomes. His primary role as the firm’s President and CEO is to help each client evaluate their current situation and assess their goals, and then strategically build around those to deliver improved results in the areas of plan design optimization, financial efficiency and affordability, plan compliance and improved health care quality and results.
