WAYNE, PA & HOOKSETT, NH — Argosy Healthcare Partners (AHP) announced a recapitalization and strategic partnership with Integrated Solutions for Benefits and Insurance Services (IS Benefits), a New Hampshire–based firm that helps healthcare organizations and employers manage risk and optimize employee benefits.
Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Hooksett, IS Benefits partners with employers, healthcare providers, and brokers to navigate complex risk management and stop-loss coverage needs. The company’s model blends deep expertise in stop-loss underwriting, specialty drug management, and claims auditing with a highly consultative approach tailored to self-funded employers.
“Our mission at IS Benefits has been to simplify the complex and deliver meaningful, transparent and measurable value to our clients and partner organizations,” said Nancy Young, Founder and President of IS Benefits. “We have built our reputation by combining deep expertise in stop loss underwriting, specialty drug management, and claims auditing with a highly consultative, relationship-driven approach. Partnering with AHP allows us to scale that model, invest in new technology, broaden our reach, and continue delivering cost savings and clarity to self-funded employers nationwide.”
Paul Barrett, Managing Partner at Argosy Healthcare Partners, said the investment aligns with AHP’s focus on supporting innovative healthcare businesses that address rising cost pressures. “Healthcare costs continue to climb, driven by rising utilization, specialty drug expenses, and increasing regulatory complexity,” Barrett said. “As a result, more employers are migrating to self-funded insurance models, where effective cost-containment strategies and access to stop-loss solutions are essential. Nancy has built an exceptional business in a rapidly growing market, and we are honored to support IS Benefits in its next phase of growth.”
The partnership is expected to fuel IS Benefits’ national expansion and strengthen its technology-driven capabilities, positioning the firm to meet growing demand for cost-containment solutions across the healthcare and employer benefits landscape.
