H.H.C. Group CEO to Lead Panel on Cost Containment Strategies at BenefitsPRO Broker Expo 2026

April 01, 2026

ROCKVILLE, Md., April 1, 2026 -- H.H.C. Group (H.H.C.),a leader in reducing healthcare costs by providing high-quality cost containment using claim negotiation, repricing and independent review solutions, is excited to announce that Bruce D. Roffé, P.D., M.S., H.I.A., President and CEO, H.H.C. Group, has been chosen to moderate a panel discussion at the BenefitsPRO 2026 Broker Expo, taking place April 28–30 in Chicago.

Repricing isn't Enough

Roffé will lead the session, "Repricing Isn't Enough: What Brokers Need to Communicate to Clients About True Cost Containment Innovations," on Thursday, April 30 from 9:30 – 10:15 AM.

"Repricing doesn't stop aggressive billing, inflated charges or balance billing exposure," says Roffé. "If you're not reviewing, validating and negotiating claims before payment, you're likely leaving significant savings on the table."

As high-cost claims continue to rise in frequency, size and complexity, the session will challenge traditional approaches to cost containment and highlight why repricing alone is no longer sufficient to control healthcare spend.

Panelists joining Roffé include:

  • Kari Niblack, President, Boon Chapman
  • Allison De Paoli, Founder & CEO, Altiqe Consulting
  • Dan Harrison, VP of Sales, Skyward Specialty Insurance
The discussion will provide brokers, TPAs and stop-loss professionals with actionable insights into identifying gaps in current strategies and evaluating vendor performance. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how layered clinical, legal and financial review can drive more accurate, defensible outcomes.

"What happens before payment determines the outcome," adds Roffé. "The earlier you engage in the claim lifecycle, the more control you have over both cost and defensibility."

Together, the panel will explore real-world claim scenarios and outline how organizations can better manage provider tactics such as upcoding, DRG misalignment, improper modifiers and inflated out-of-network charges.

Brokers, TPAs and stop-loss professionals attending BenefitsPRO are encouraged to connect with H.H.C. Group to learn how a more proactive, human-led approach to cost containment can deliver stronger financial outcomes.
