Free from private equity or a parent company, Nixon Benefits is unencumbered to place the interests of our clients and their plan members first. Founded in 2001, Nixon Benefits is the alternative to broker practices, with a proven track record of delivering plan cost reductions without reducing benefits. Our independent market practices support employer fiduciary responsibility by providing objective access to the marketplace, eliminating conflicts of interest, and allowing insurers and vendors to compete on value, service, and price. This approach consistently produces plan costs lower than national averages and advances transparency within the industry. With a veteran team representing every corner of the industry—including underwriters and executives with experience both for and alongside insurance carriers—Nixon Benefits brings deep expertise in risk management, underwriting, and plan design to every client relationship.

 

In 2018, Nixon Benefits' unique approach resulted in an invitation from the Society of Actuaries to participate in Initiative 18 | 11, an ongoing national think tank focused on reducing healthcare costs in the United States. The initiative brought together 30 leaders from across the healthcare system, each selected from a different sector. Among those invited were Johns Hopkins, IBM Watson, the Congressional Budget Office, Harvard, and Nixon Benefits.
