You're Likely Overpaying — You Just Can't See Where
Most employers renew their health plan every year without realizing how much waste is built into the system.
- ✕Hidden administrative fees.
- ✕Inflated network pricing.
- ✕Opaque pharmacy costs.
- ✕Broker models that reward higher premiums.
The result? You pay more every year — for the same or worse coverage. We built Demand Benefits to change that.
Baton Rouge is Louisiana's fastest-growing major metro and one of the most dynamic employer markets in the Gulf South. Economists project more than 21,000 new jobs in the Baton Rouge metro over the next two years, driven by industrial expansion, healthcare growth, and major capital investments including Hyundai's $5.8 billion steel manufacturing facility in Ascension Parish.
That growth is creating a talent war — and benefits packages are at the center of it.
The Capital Region's job growth has been led by healthcare, construction, and leisure and hospitality, with private education and health services adding thousands of jobs annually. Major employers including Exxon Mobil, Turner Industries, Our Lady of the Lake, Baton Rouge General, LSU, and Community Coffee have set competitive benefits standards. Mid-size employers across East Baton Rouge, Ascension, and Livingston parishes are under real pressure to keep pace.
The Baton Rouge Benefits Problem
Most Baton Rouge employer groups are on fully insured plans with BCBS Louisiana or UnitedHealthcare — and most have never been shown a self-funded or level-funded alternative. With the Capital Region's industrial workforce growing rapidly, many groups now have the employee count and claims history to qualify for significantly better arrangements.
A typical mid-size Baton Rouge employer on a fully insured plan is paying 15–25% more than they need to. That gap compounds every year at renewal.
