I quit paying obscene health insurance premiums to faceless corporations & joined a revolution where real humans support each other's medical bills - it's awesome.  No networks. No premiums. No BS.  

Ask me how I sleep at night knowing healthcare doesn't own me anymore.

Physician Associate

NFL Cheerleader turned EMPA | Award-winning Health Leader | Functional Medicine Advocate | International Speaker | Media Contributor | Podcaster Extraordinaire 😉

I burned out as an Emergency Medicine PA after treating thousands of patients through lockdowns, mandates, and with conflicted guidance and uncertainty.  I ended up depressed, apathetic and completely demoralized. 

I was drowning. The healthcare system was broken and I felt powerless to fix it. 

I started writing on LinkedIn in Summer 2021 with zero followers. I had no idea what I was doing. Just a burned-out healthcare worker who needed an outlet and had strong opinions about fixing the system.

This led to:

• 10K+ followers in 6 months
• Non-clinical unicorn position
• Flexible clinical research role
• Regular podcast appearances
• Keynote speaking opportunities
• Featured in Medscape and US News
• Brand consulting that 3x'd my clinical salary
• Press access to cover FDA and HHS (my dream)

I'm not that smart and have no special training in marketing, and yet, writing online saved my life and changed absolutely everything from my finances to my mental health.

The healthcare professionals I've helped have experienced similar transformations.  

And I love being a part of their stories and I finally feel fulfilled. Through their work and my own,  I'm finally changing healthcare and helping patients in a real way. 

Your expertise is your competitive advantage - you just need to show up consistently and authentically.

My beliefs that drive everything I do:

- Healthcare needs more voices online
- Your expertise deserves a bigger stage
- Opportunities come to those who show up
- Mental health matters more than any paycheck

How can I help you?

• Writing systems that create opportunities 
• Sponsorships for mission-aligned companies that connect you with your customers.

Aren't you exhausted by unsustainable benefit plan increases every year? Frustrated that employee raises are eaten up by skyrocketing healthcare premiums? Fed up with benefits that don't seem to reach employees as they should? 

Ready for a smarter approach to buying and managing benefits?

At Altiqe Consulting, we work with forward-thinking executives like you to break free from the benefits industry’s status quo. The endless cycle of “quote the plan, get a rate increase” was designed to keep vendors happy—not your P&L, cash flow, or (and especially) your team. 

Our mission is to disrupt that cycle, making sure every dollar in your benefits budget serves you, your people, and your bottom line.

How We Do It
•	Take Control of Your Healthcare Budget: With our guidance, companies regain control of their healthcare spending, driving down costs and capturing the EBITDA often locked in their benefits budget. 
•	Create Real ROI on Benefits: We help shift your benefits from SG&A to CapEx, turning benefits into an investment with measurable returns. Imagine benefits that contribute both to your financial results and employee satisfaction.
•	Optimize Your Healthcare Supply Chain: Just like you manage every other business unit, we manage your healthcare supply chain for top-notch medical outcomes at the best cost. Our commitment is to secure high-quality care without the excess price tag.
•	Hands-On Support for Employees: A well-communicated plan makes all the difference. With our human-touch approach, we ensure employees understand and maximize their benefits, protecting plan dollars and boosting overall satisfaction.


At Altiqe, we’re more than just advisors—we’re allies in transforming healthcare spending. We deliver bottom-line results, period. Let’s redefine what a benefits plan can do for your organization.

Raising The Bar

At Altiqe, we’ve discovered that CEOs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have a keen interest in how their peers handle both challenges and opportunities—and how they can apply those insights to drive their own companies forward.

Our clients frequently ask, "What are other leaders doing to enhance this part of their business?" So, we decided to answer that question directly!

Tune in to learn how businesses like yours are seizing opportunities, building stronger teams, and elevating their value propositions. Get inspired, gain practical insights, and take away actionable ideas to bring back to your organization.

Most brokers treat health insurance like an inevitability. At Altiqe, we treat it like an investment.

There are two kinds of employers at renewal time:

One gets handed a 25% increase and shrugs.

The other calls me—and walks away with a plan for flat renewal, lowered deductibles, and zero employee cost shift.

I’m Allison De Paoli, founder of Altiqe.

My firm works with employers (25–3,200 lives) who are done playing defense with their health plans. 

We build strategies that are transparent, predictable, and actually work—for both the organization and the humans inside it.

Here’s what that looks like in real life:

✅ $267K in productivity recouped with better access to care

✅ Rx costs cut in half—no formulary change, no copay hikes

✅ Employee contributions held flat 6+ years—while deductibles and copays went down

✅ A 25% renewal neutralized—by cleaning contracts instead of cutting benefits

I haven’t just seen how the system works—I’ve helped change it.

My approach isn’t about magic bullets. 

It’s about intelligent design: fiduciary vendor partnerships, real-time data access, and a better experience for everyone.

If you’re a CEO, CFO, or Head of HR who’s tired of “pass it on to employees” being the only answer—let’s talk.

You don’t need a bigger budget. You need a better strategy.

As an organization, we’ve found that SME CEOs have a real interest in understanding how other CEOs handle issues and opportunities and then leveraging that information to improve their own organizations.

Our clients ask us all the time... what are our competitors doing to improve this area of their business?
So we decided to tell them!

Join us to learn how other businesses like yours are leveraging opportunities, developing their teams, and improving their value proposition and more!
