Why Smart Business Owners Are Rethinking Health Benefits in 2026

Healthcare costs continue to rise, and for many business owners and individuals, traditional health insurance options are no longer keeping pace with real-world needs. Premiums increase, plan choices narrow, and administrative complexity grows—often without delivering better coverage.

Healthcare costs continue to rise, and for many business owners and individuals, traditional health insurance options are no longer keeping pace with real-world needs. Premiums increase, plan choices narrow, and administrative complexity grows—often without delivering better coverage.


At Park Place Collective, we believe healthcare should be part of a broader financial protection strategy, not a standalone expense. That’s why Joe and Marni Costa and Park Place Collective have expanded our Suite of Services through a new strategic partnership with Pegasus Health Group LLC, a leader in ACA-compliant PPO health plans.


This collaboration is designed to give business owners and individuals access to smarter, more flexible healthcare options—often with meaningful cost-saving opportunities.


Healthcare Is One of the Largest Financial Risks You Face

Unexpected medical expenses remain one of the leading causes of financial strain for families and businesses alike. Even profitable companies can feel the impact of rising premiums, high deductibles, and limited network options.

When healthcare costs are unpredictable, they can affect:

  • Cash flow and business planning

  • Employee retention and morale

  • Personal savings and long-term financial goals

That’s why healthcare decisions should align with your overall financial strategy—not work against it.


What This Partnership Changes

Through our partnership with Pegasus Health Group, Park Place Collective clients gain access to ACA-compliant PPO plans that are structured to provide flexibility, choice, and potential cost efficiencies.

Many of these options are typically associated with larger employer groups, but may now be available to:

  • Business owners

  • Self-employed professionals

  • Individuals and families seeking alternatives

The result is access to broader provider networks and plan designs built around real-world usage—not one-size-fits-all solutions.


Benefits for Business Owners

For business owners, health benefits are no longer just a line item—they’re a strategic tool.

Attract and Retain Talent

Competitive health benefits make your job offers more appealing and help retain top performers in a competitive labor market.

Control Rising Costs

Through alternative plan structures and pricing efficiencies, many businesses can explore options designed to help reduce monthly premium pressure.

Improve Productivity

Healthier employees often mean fewer absences, higher morale, and better overall performance.

Simplified Support

Our partner provides guidance and administrative support so business owners can stay focused on running their companies—not managing insurance paperwork.


Advanced Strategies: Flexibility and Cost Control

Depending on eligibility and structure, some businesses may explore:

  • Self-insured plan options that provide greater control and potential savings

  • Customizable plan designs aligned with employee needs

  • Specialty drug cost containment strategies aimed at reducing high prescription expenses

These approaches can be particularly impactful for businesses facing rising pharmaceutical costs.


Solutions for Individuals and Families

You don’t need to be part of a large employer to explore smarter healthcare options.

Individuals and families may be able to:

  • Access PPO plans without traditional large-group requirements

  • Participate in network-based options that can reduce premium costs

  • Choose coverage that better aligns with lifestyle and budget needs

For self-employed professionals and entrepreneurs, this can be a game-changer.


Why This Matters Now

Healthcare decisions directly impact:

  • Financial stability

  • Business continuity

  • Quality of life

By integrating healthcare into our broader Suite of Services, Park Place Collective helps clients approach protection holistically—connecting lending, real estate, insurance, and now health benefits under one coordinated strategy.


Is This Right for You?

If you’re a:

  • Business owner looking to improve benefits without escalating costs

  • Individual or family seeking PPO access and flexibility

  • Insurance or business professional looking to add value for your clients

…it may be worth exploring what options are available through our expanded network.
