About Us

A different approach to healthcare benefits

At Red Letter Benefits, we believe that integrity requires transparency. Unfortunately, much of the healthcare industry is anything but transparent, and that makes it challenging for companies to understand their options.

We offer a different approach to healthcare benefits, where we educate our clients on all available options, share complete details about how the pricing works, and offer personalized support to you and your employees throughout the entire plan period.

If you want something better for your company and your employees, you’ve come to the right place.
