Everything you need to provide competitive insurance benefits for your veterinary team
A strong practice culture is built on a foundation of care and support. Offering group health insurance communicates that your practice values its employees, not just as workers, but as individuals with families and health needs.
We help veterinary practices offer competitive, cost-effective health insurance benefits—even with fewer than 20 employees. Whether you’re looking to change coverage or exploring health insurance for the first time, we’ll guide you to the right plan with the right carrier, ensuring your team gets the coverage they deserve without overextending your budget.
A traditional group health insurance plan is not right for all employers. We are well-versed in alternatives like self-funded and level-funded plans, Direct Primary Care (DPC)-based models, Healthcare Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) programs, and more. These solutions offer flexibility and better plan customization for both your practice and your employees.
Add value to your benefits package with dental and vision plans that employees appreciate—and expect. We’ll help you choose affordable, easy-to-administer options from top national carriers that deliver strong networks and real benefits.
Life and disability coverage helps your team feel secure, no matter what life throws their way. We offer group term life, short-term and long-term disability options that are simple to manage and designed to support your team during the unexpected.
Give your staff the ability to round out their coverage with voluntary benefits like accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity, and more—without adding to your bottom line. These plans offer peace of mind and financial protection when it matters most.
Your team’s mental and emotional wellbeing matters. EAPs provide confidential counseling, legal and financial support, and other resources to help employees manage life’s challenges—boosting morale, productivity, and retention.
By providing cost-saving strategies, simplifying administration, and ensuring compliance, the right broker can be a valuable partner in supporting employee satisfaction and business success. Here’s how we can help:
Negotiating Better Rates: As brokers, we have access to multiple insurance carriers and can source plans with lower premiums.
Recommending Cost-Effective Alternatives like level-funded plans or health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs).
Our team assists with plan selection, enrollment, and ongoing management, reducing the burden on practice owners and managers.
Access to streamlined benefit enrollment platforms like Employee Navigator at no cost.
We help practices offer attractive benefits that compete with corporate veterinary groups, helping retain top talent.
We keep your practice compliant with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), ERISA, COBRA, and other regulations with audits, checklists, and ongoing support.
Alera Group’s unique Benefits Playbook process is designed to develop a long-term strategy with clearly defined goals and objectives.
We monitor market trends and help practices adjust benefits strategies based on costs, employee feedback, and industry benchmarks.

I hired Granite Peak to assist me with the sale of my veterinary practice. Not having much accounting knowledge, they guided me through the entire sale and helped negotiate the deal in such a way that both the buyer and seller came away satisfied. They were very thorough and professional throughout, and their fees were fair. I was so pleased with his efforts that I engaged their firm for my personal taxes. I recommend Granite Peak without reservation.
