Over the last decade, health care costs have skyrocketed, and Wisconsin ranks second nationally for annual health cost expenditures. The extended forecast: higher group premiums for employers and increased out of pocket costs for employees.

At Burkwald and Associates, we view current trends as an opportunity to strategically focus on creating efficient outcomes through a comprehensive managed care plan. The role we fulfill as results-driven professionals includes providing guidance, knowledge, service and technology to keep benefits costs in check, while still satisfying employees' desire to control their healthcare decisions.
