To counter the brokerage industry, Donovan founded Health Compass Consulting in 2018. The pioneering fiduciary-based management consulting firm is dedicated to helping employers with 100 to 10,000 employees combat the estimated $300 billion in annual waste within the U.S. employer-sponsored healthcare system. To achieve this, the firm developed three proprietary frameworks: Assess, Procurement, Implement, Manage\u2122, Total Benefits Assessment\u2122, and the Health Plan Maturity Model\u2122. These frameworks empower clients with the clarity essential for identifying opportunities, setting goals, and developing roadmaps to achieve them. As a result of their data-driven approach and role as fiduciaries, Health Compass clients save an average of $1,856 per employee per year, with better coverage.<\/p><\/div><div><p>As Chairman of the Validation Institute\u2019s Certified Health Value Professional (CHVP) Advisory Board, Donovan further contributes to the industry by elevating the professional standards of benefits consulting through leading education on health plan innovation.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Donovan&#8217;s insights on transforming employee benefits from a cost center to a strategic asset are regularly featured in publications such as Employee Benefit News, Yahoo Finance, SHRM, and Seeking Alpha.
