Professional business meeting — plan sponsors and fiduciaries in consultation

The Nation's Only Independent Fee Consultant

Unbiased. Independent. Always on your side.

We represent plan sponsors and fiduciaries exclusively — never TPAs, PBMs, brokers, or consultants.

Our Commitment

We work for you — only you.

Independent fee consulting — plan sponsor meeting

Serving plan sponsors and fiduciaries exclusively since our founding.

Most health and welfare plan consultants have a fundamental conflict: they are paid by the very vendors they are supposed to evaluate. TPAs, PBMs, brokers, and third-party consultants all have financial relationships that compromise their advice — whether they disclose it or not.

Parabellum Benefits is different. We are the nation's only fee consultant that represents plan sponsors and plan fiduciaries exclusively. We accept no compensation from vendors, no referral fees, no commissions, and no undisclosed arrangements of any kind.

Our independence is not a marketing claim — it is a structural commitment. When we audit your TPA fees, analyze your PBM contract, or benchmark your plan costs, you receive advice that is genuinely, verifiably on your side.

"Biased advice doesn't just cost money — it costs fiduciaries their legal protection."
— Parabellum Benefits, Independence Pledge

Hidden fees in health and welfare plans are pervasive. Administrative overcharges, undisclosed PBM spread pricing, and inflated broker compensation routinely cost plan sponsors millions of dollars annually — and most never know it because their advisors have no incentive to find it.

We find what others miss — because we have no reason to look the other way.

Independence

No vendor relationships, no referral fees, no commissions. Our only client is the plan sponsor.

Fiduciary Alignment

We operate under the same fiduciary standard as the plan sponsors we serve — your interests are our only obligation.

Transparent Fees

Flat-fee engagements only. You always know exactly what you are paying and why.
