Why Health Compass?

Integrity | Transparency | Accountability |

MISSION

Our mission is to eliminate the $300 billion employers waste on healthcare each year so that they can attract and retain the talent needed to achieve their goals.

VISION

Our vision is for organizations and individuals to have the economic freedom and stability needed to pursue their dreams.

There are many smart people who could potentially help you achieve your goals. So why work with Health Compass? Here are several reasons we trust you will find compelling:


As an antidote to the failed benefits brokerage industry, Health Compass is the first fee-based benefits consulting firm in the U.S., which means that we work for employers — not insurance companies. As a result of this financial alignment, we are free to maximize our client's benefits investments — without financial conflicts of interest.

Our Founder and CEO, Donovan Pyle, is only 1 of 2 employee benefits consultants in the U.S. who holds the two highest certifications in the benefits industry (Certified Health Value Professional awarded by the Validation Institute and Registered Employee Benefits Consultant awarded by the National Association of Insurance and Benefits Professionals).


Mr. Pyle also holds the highest certification awarded by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) — Senior Certified Professional.


Our clients range in size from 10 to over 10,000 employees, and our average client saved ~$1,500 per employee last year — while improving coverage.


Our thought leadership and whitepapers are published in national publications like Yahoo Finance, Go-Banking Rates, the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), and Advisor Magazine. We’re also a member of the Orlando Business Journal’s Leadership Trust.


We have over ten years of experience representing Unions in Florida, New Jersey, and Nevada.

Our business model, certified expertise, and mission lay the groundwork for your company’s transformation. 

But don't just take our word for it... listen to our clients'.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Team

Donovan Pyle, Founder and CEO

While working on the carrier and brokerage side of the employee benefits industry, Donovan Pyle identified a fundamental misalignment in the market: Brokers make more money when their client's costs go up, and this undermines the employers' ability to get objective advice on how health plan dollars should be invested.

The problem inspired Donovan to develop and found one of the first fee-based employee benefits firms in 2018. By working directly for employers instead of vendors, Donovan’s firm — Health Compass Consulting —  escapes the financial conflicts of interest that prevent employers from getting the results they desire.

Today, Health Compass's clients have anywhere from 10 to 10,000 employees and save approximately $1,500 per employee per year -- without watering down coverage. 

Pyle holds the highest consulting designation awarded by the National Association of Insurance & Benefits Professionals, is the Vice Chair of the Health Council of East Central Florida, and is one of twenty-eight consultants in the U.S. certified by the Validation Institute. He also holds the highest Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) certification - Senior Certified Professional. 

His writing can be seen in Yahoo Finance, SHRM, Seeking Alpha, and many other national publications, and he can be reached at donovan@healthcompassconsulting.com
