Rave Benefits

Check out our recent Google Review we received! Very few things stop us in our tracks, but this is of them. It’s a direct reminder of why we do what we do. And why Rave Benefits was created.

A family came to us after being told they owed over $14,000 by a hospital. The bill dated back to January of last year and had already gone to collections. It was even preventing them from closing on their home. We became the benefits consultant for their organization in October, and during open enrollment we shared that medical bills often contain errors and, in many cases, can be negotiated. After that meeting, this couple came to us and asked if we would take a look at what they were facing because they were so worried about the bills they had received.

Something did not add up.

Our team took a deeper look and discovered the claim was being billed incorrectly. We helped guide the communication and worked through the details to ensure everything aligned with what their BCBS EOB showed as the correct amount.

The final balance came to $775.87.

From over $14,000 in collections to a resolution that was accurate and not allowing a large hospital system to take advantage of the member.

Reading their message brought tears to our eyes. Not because of the numbers, but because of the impact it had on their family. Helping people navigate situations like this is at the heart of what we do. We are grateful for the trust our clients place in us and honored to advocate for them every single day.

We are beyond thrilled to annouce that we have grown our team! Let's Rave about our new team member, Lacey Beloncik!

Lacey leads benefits operations, working behind the scenes to build and support the infrastructure that enables our clients’ innovative, sustainable benefit strategies to flourish.

She is a benefits and operations leader with deep expertise in benefits operations, self-funded plan administration, and HR strategy. Throughout her career, she has led the design, implementation, and ongoing management of comprehensive benefits programs—driving operational excellence, ensuring compliance, and optimizing plan performance while elevating the employee experience. Her work reflects a thoughtful, strategic approach to aligning benefit structures with organizational goals and long-term sustainability.

“Through my experience, I have witnessed firsthand how deeply personal benefits are to each individual. Managing self-funded plans and complex benefit operations has given me a unique perspective on both the financial realities and the human impact behind every decision employers make. I am passionate about creating opportunity through innovation—helping employers rethink traditional models and design benefits that truly serve their people. I believe benefits are personal, and when designed intentionally, they have the power to transform lives and strengthen organizations.”

Welcome to the Rave Benefits family Lacey! We are so happy to have you with us!

We really enjoyed the opportunity to speak at the Tulsa Employee Benefits Group luncheon on Direct Provider Contracts.

We had an honest conversation about a tough reality: many PPO “discounts” are applied to prices inflated far above Medicare — so the savings often aren’t what they seem.

The good news? Employers have better options — Direct Primary Care, Medicare-anchored pricing, and direct provider contracts — that can reduce costs while improving the employee experience.

It’s encouraging to see employers open to rethinking how they buy healthcare.

If you’d like to continue the conversation, we’d love to connect.

✨ Cut Claims, Not Care – Executive Luncheon Recap ✨

Last month, we had the pleasure of hosting an incredible group of OKC business leaders for an engaging discussion on innovative healthcare strategies that lower costs without sacrificing quality of care.

Over lunch, we explored:

✅ The benefits of Direct Primary Care
✅ How Group Medical Captives create stability and control
✅ Real-world examples of APTA Cash savings
✅ Strategies to reduce claims while improving employee health outcomes

A big thank you to our partners — Apta Health, Primary Health Partners, and Zenith Risk Strategies LLC for collaborating to make this event a success.

Most importantly, thank you to all the executives and HR leaders who joined us. The conversation was lively, solutions-focused, and a reminder that better healthcare plans do exist when we’re willing to challenge the status quo.
