In this episode of The Moss HR Minute, host Nicole Moss, Co-Founder of Moss Consulting HR Services, sits down with Jamie Lagarde, Founder of Masonry Health, to talk about what most employers get wrong when designing employee health plans.
Jamie brings more than a decade of experience rethinking employer-sponsored healthcare and shares why the employee experience has to be the starting point — not just cost spreadsheets or last-minute renewals. From reviewing claims data early to making behind-the-scenes plan adjustments throughout the year, this conversation breaks down how employers can improve benefits, control costs, and avoid painful surprises at renewal. Controlling healthcare costs in 2026, controlling prescription costs, for business owners.
This episode is especially relevant for founders and operators who want to:
- Build better health plans without sacrificing affordability
- Understand why timing matters in benefits planning
- Make smarter, data-driven decisions that support employees and their families
