Written by Rick Ramos | December 19, 2017

We’ve teamed up with a powerhouse agency in Upstate New York and Connecticut, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this exciting partnership.

Rose & Kiernan has selected HealthJoy as their preferred technology solution for cost containment and employee engagement. The strategies they deliver to their clients are top-notch, and now their clients will be able to access their benefits through HealthJoy, leveraging a modern technology and advocacy experience for their employees.

For more than 145 years, Rose & Kiernan (R&K) has been a leading general agency in the Northeast, highly regarded for their insurance expertise in New York State, New England, and beyond. With almost $1B of benefit premiums and premium equivalent under management, Rose & Kiernan’s employee benefits management group (EBMG) has a demonstrated ability to deliver high quality, cost-effective solutions with prompt, dependable, value-added service.

“As we evaluated agencies for strategic partnership in upstate New York, it became clear that Rose & Kiernan had everything we were looking for. This is an agency with a long history of unmatched expertise and excellence in insurance strategy and a dedicated culture that embraces innovation on behalf of their clients,” said Doug Morse-Schindler, Co-Founder and President at HealthJoy. “Our core values are completely aligned, and we couldn’t be more excited to go to market with this team.”

As an additional benefit to Rose & Kiernan clients, HealthJoy will integrate United Concierge Medicine (UCM), offering their Virtual Concierge Medicine services through the platform. As Rose & Kiernan’s preferred virtual care partner, this means UCM’s services will now be available to all current and new clients through HealthJoy.

“We are excited to partner with HealthJoy in this next step with Rose & Kiernan as they continue to put members first and to stay on the forefront of technology while remaining committed to the highest quality care,” said Keith Algozzine, CEO of United Concierge Medicine.

John Murray, President, Chairman and CEO for Rose & Kiernan said, “This partnership is a true differentiator for our agency and the strategies we deliver to our clients. Artificial intelligence has been heralded for the potential to move the needle in data-driven industries, and HealthJoy is the first to enter the employee benefits space. Our missions, values, and belief that fixing the American healthcare system starts with the member experience are completely aligned.”

“When evaluating solutions, we were impressed by HealthJoy’s focus on an integrated, intuitive experience for employees and their families. Their approach to addressing complicated and expensive challenges employees and their families face is comprehensive, pairing cutting-edge technology with expert service,” said Keith Dolan, Senior Vice President at Rose & Kiernan. We are excited to roll this powerful technology out to our clients and their employees.”
