In its recently released 2026 Employer Health Care Strategy Survey, Business Group on Health finds that in 2026, 61% of employers will leverage at least one advanced primary care strategy.

In a new podcast series titled The Business Case for Advanced Primary Care, Dr. Jeff Wells, CEO and co-founder of Marathon Health, sits down with BenefitsPRO contributor Michael Krieger to discuss how advanced primary care fits into the overall benefits landscape. In this first episode, the two discuss:

- How advanced primary care can support up to 90% of one's needs—through integrated, whole-person care

- Why the advanced primary care approach is different than traditional care models, and how that leads to better health outcomes

- How employers and advisors can use advanced primary care to control rising costs and deliver measurable ROI
