Services
We believe the investment in your employee benefits program should be evaluated and managed with the same degree of care and expertise as other aspects of your business. While providing competitive benefit options is an essential component of what we do, our core benefit consulting services extend well beyond traditional plan pricing.
The aim of our in-depth strategic planning process is to arrive at a comprehensive benefits program that addresses the needs of your employees within the financial parameters set by your company. Time spent upfront learning your company culture, plan objectives and plan performance shapes the strategic direction moving forward.
Understanding what fuels your health plan costs is fundamental to identifying opportunities for immediate and long-term savings. Claims and utilization reports provide a big-picture summary of plan performance and member utilization patterns. Our analysis digs deeper and uncovers what's driving wasteful spending and inefficient health care consumption.
Prescription drug costs are accelerating at a faster pace than medical care. Pharmacy spend, driven by specialty drugs developed to treat complex and chronic diseases, is expected to exceed 50% of combined medical and pharmacy spend in coming years. In any evaluation of benefit plan costs, it is important to focus attention on your pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) as well as member utilization patterns. Our team will evaluate, recommend and implement a program designed to affect how members utilize the prescription feature of the medical plan.

I have worked with Shari, Matt and Kent for several years now. I cannot say enough about this team's commitment to making sure you are well informed, happy and have everything in the right place. Shari goes above and beyond in helping our employees with claims or general questions. Matt's response time is.5 seconds and has never let me down with any request! You guys make the process of insuring our team so much better!

Words simply cannot express the level of care and customer service I received by Shari Sheridan with Bukaty Companies. I was grieving the loss of my fiance, and trying to find my way in a complete fog of grief not knowing how to start the life insurance process, not wanting to but needing to. Shari went above and beyond what any insurance agent would ever be expected to.
She helped me through the process, comforted my grief, and gave me factual information that would help me and my family now and in the future. I would recommend them to the people that I love.

If you have the pleasure of working with Carrie Arthur, she is an absolute ALL STAR! Her professionalism and efficiency are top notch. I had a lot of "life things" happening all at once, and she put my mind at ease while navigating a solution. She was quick to follow up with any information I had requested, and answered the MANY question I had. I truly felt that Carrie was GENUINELY invested in helping me - something I think a lot of customer/client service specialists are lacking these days. I felt like an actual human being - and not just a number or name. What a fantastic company!

Mike Muldoon & Kendra Cusick were extremely helpful in finding good coverage at reasonable rates for our small business group. With increases of 17% & 26% the last two years and being a small diverse group with a variety of needs, it was getting extremely difficult to find affordable health care. With Bukaty, we were able to offer several options with something to fit everyone's needs and enrich our benefits offering while saving the company and employees money. I highly recommend Bukaty Companies and particularly Mike Muldoon!
