Sherlock Company Assists
Health Care Payers

Strategic decisions by health plans can create a virtuous cycle: investments in areas like product diversification, vertical integration, or global payments can strengthen competitive position, which in turn enables further investment. Sherlock Company helps health plans kick-start that cycle by identifying cost-saving areas and offering insights into valuation.

Our Approach

Sherlock Company has provided benchmarking and advisory services exclusively to health plans for 38 years. That singular focus means we understand how plans actually operate, and where the real opportunities for improvement lie.

Our benchmarks are the industry standard for measuring administrative costs and operational performance. Health plans use them to identify inefficiencies, justify investments, and make the case for strategic change. We've also completed over 140 financial advisory engagements, giving us insight that pure benchmarking firms don't have.

We work with plans directly, with their investors, and with organizations exploring partnerships or acquisitions.
