Jamie Greenleaf: Healthcare Fiduciary Duties

Jamie Greenleaf is the Co-Founder of Fiduciary In A Box (FIAB) and a recognized expert in fiduciary governance. With a career dedicated to helping employers design and implement fiduciarily sound retirement programs, she has consistently focused on driving better financial outcomes for employees.

In response to the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) of 2021, Jamie co-founded Fiduciary In A Box to equip employers and their partners with the tools and framework needed to establish a strong fiduciary process for their health care plans, ensuring compliance and reducing risk for plan sponsors.

In this episode, Eric and Jamie Greenleaf discuss:

• New transparency rules for healthcare plans
• Employers must embrace fiduciary responsibility
• Advisors are essential partners in compliance
• Support tools like Fiduciary In a Box can help

Key Takeaways:

• The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 introduced major updates to employer-sponsored healthcare plans, building on ERISA’s foundation. Key changes include the removal of gag clauses, mandatory compensation disclosures, and new reporting requirements on prescription spending and mental health parity.
• Employers are now expected to take a more hands‑on approach in managing their healthcare plans. This includes forming fiduciary committees, undergoing fiduciary training, verifying vendor information, and benchmarking service providers to ensure fair costs and quality.
• Advisors and brokers play a critical role in helping employers understand their fiduciary duties. They should offer transparent compensation details and guide the development of strong oversight practices to protect plan participants and maintain regulatory compliance.
• Platforms such as Fiduciary In a Box simplify the compliance process by providing resources, templates, and benchmarking tools. These solutions enable employers to implement proper fiduciary practices and make well‑informed, participant‑focused decisions.

“Trust but verify, because at the end of the day, you are the fiduciary nobody else sitting at that table on the healthcare side is.” - Jamie Greenleaf
