From an actuary firm:

Bill, I watched the entire video. My God! Did you get the part about the TPA not charging anything until they get a claim? They are working off a percentage of savings! Who is their actuary?

The first 58 minutes is more entertaining than the last 15 minutes. Consultant lacks polish. Board lacks brains.  We wouldnt put up with either up here.
