Uncommon Benefit Partners

Alignment, Transparency, & Accountability in Employee Benefits

Uncommon Vision

Benefit risk is unsustainable. Costs are running higher, regulations are onerous, and existing partners have destroyed trust.

UNCOMMON is your solution to restore alignment, transparency, and accountability to employee benefits. Founded out of MIT in 2024, we build on years of industry experience to:

  • Fix a broken system of backend dealing

  • Hold your partners accountable

  • Reveal missed opportunities and better outcomes

  • Build long-lasting trust and transparency

Our Services

  • We understand your benefits consultants represent a pivotal partnership. Choosing the right team, establishing optimal terms, aligning incentives, and ensuring accountability directly influence your members’ experiences during life’s critical moments while also impacting millions of dollars on your bottom line.

    Drawing on our expertise as consultants, benefit leaders, insurers, actuaries, and innovators, we identify the ideal broker for your needs and maximizing the value of your relationship with them.

  • For clients ready to change the system, we are your critical partner. Our team operates with clear, transparent terms, incentives, and accountability. We win when you win, period.

    Drawing on our expertise as consultants, benefit leaders, insurers, actuaries, and innovators, we will build a sustainable, effective employee benefits plan as your broker of record, all based upon your goals.

  • We also serve customers and the benefits community through speaker engagements, innovation sessions, and general consulting.

Case Studies

  • Mid-market U.S. Health Industry

    Uncovered 13% savings, over $5M per year, for a mid-market employer, currently using one of the largest three brokers, without shifting any cost to employees.

  • Global 2000 Employer

    Identified over $50M per year in savings for a large, international brand. Their big box broker had mismanaged the medical plan leading to excessive spend due to poor carrier fit and weak claims processing controls. A diligent course correction brought the plan spending down the very next year.

  • Global 500 Food Industry

    Eliminated nearly $300M in potential liabilities for compliance issues. This large food service company required significant plan corrections to eliminate their risk. With heightened fiduciary responsibilities, all plans should consider a deeper dive.

  • Regional U.S. Food Industry

    Leveraged multiple data points and industry sources to correct mis-understood market positions, for both the client and the broker. This client avoided a nearly $20M pear year mistake. Traditional brokers are often set in their ways, but new data can help update decision making.
