Are health plan rate increases disguising a bigger problem?
Joining a large risk pool may help stabilize rate increases for the long term.
Portico’s health plan participant pool adds value by helping you to:
- Increase your buying power
Thousands of congregations, plus colleges, universities, and social ministry organizations make up Portico’s health plan pool. Together, the collective buying power of the group allows us to negotiate better rates, helps keep those rates stable, and offers potential cost savings. - Reduce risk from chronic conditions and high-cost claims
A larger group of health plan participants allows high-claim health costs to be absorbed more cost-effectively, helping to create a more stable rate structure. - Increase access to better providers and programs
When you tap into Portico’s negotiating power, you can offer your employees access to best-in-class health benefits and wellness programs that may be unavailable to smaller organizations.

We focus on whole-person wellness
In addition to the pool, Portico impacts organizational wellness with a multi-faceted approach:
- Target: We help support our members with condition management and other wellness services
- Navigate: Care Coordinators from Quantum Health guide your employees through each step in their health care journey
- Engage: Portico’s health and retirement plan vendors proactively communicate and engage with our members to improve their wholistic well being
