NEW ORLEANS - October 27, 2025 - Arete Benefits, an insurance agency, has launched its business. Founded by Justin Burgess, a veteran of the employee benefits industry, Arete Benefits (pronounced “AIR-uh-tay”) helps employers build transparent, sustainable, cost-contained health plans that actually work for their people. The new firm is intent on designing the next generation of employee benefits.

“Our mission is to help employers take control of healthcare costs without sacrificing quality of care,” said Burgess, a health insurance consultant. “We focus on proven cost containment strategies that create real savings for employers and employees alike. Our approach combines direct primary care partnerships that reduce unnecessary ER and urgent care visits, transparent pharmacy programs that source medications at transparent cost, and forensic claim audits that identify overbilling and duplicate charges before payment. We also integrate cash pay options for imaging, labs, and procedures that are often 40 to 60 percent less expensive than billed rates, along with reference-based pricing to align hospital reimbursements with fair market costs. Independent medical management and steerage programs guide members toward high-quality, lower-cost providers. Together, these strategies deliver measurable savings while maintaining strong benefits and a better healthcare experience.”

He added, “Employers are tired of double-digit renewals and confusing health plans that don’t help their people. We started Arete Benefits to fix that—to bring clarity, accountability, and real solutions back to healthcare.”

Burgess is a lifelong New Orleans native, a Jesuit, and a University of New Orleans alum. Known for being a highly motivated and results-driven professional, Burgess has a strong track record of success in developing and implementing strategies that drive revenue growth, increase customer satisfaction, and improve overall business performance. He is now leveraging these talents for the strategic success of Arete Benefits. Further to this point, Burgess is renowned for his adeptness in building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders, including clients, partners, and team members.
