EP 13: How to Improve Your Health Benefits with Bruce Tap
In this episode, Bruce Tap, president of Fastco Industries, shares why he brought Root’s functional medicine benefits to his team and how they’re already making a difference. He talks about his goal to offer high-quality care while keeping out-of-pocket costs low, and what stood out about Root’s big-picture approach. Bruce also offers tips for other self-funded companies, like using direct primary care to reduce unnecessary visits, working with transparent pharmacy benefit managers to cut drug costs, and using advanced lab testing to catch issues early and support long-term health.
