Area Insurance Executive Receives National Health Care Recognition

Lauren Gayl of Gayl Financial Group recognized for excellence in service to area medical professionals

Richmond, CA (prHWY.com) June 30, 2012 - Richmond, CA, June 21, 2012 -- According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics there are approximately 700,000 physicians in the United States who work in excess of 60 hours per week. Reimbursement cuts from public and private insurance, a host of regulatory, clinical and economic issues and soaring medical malpractice premiums have left many primary care practices in precarious financial condition. While physician earning potential is the highest among any profession in the US, long clinical hours and on-call schedules leave little time for a doctor to seek out and evaluate providers of professional services to meet their own business and personal needs.

In response, an elite group of professionals is emerging as specialists to the medical community. In recognition of her work with area health care executives and physicians, Lauren Gayl has been named an MD Preferred Affiliated Insurance Professional. Each year, US Medical Specialties, Inc., a national medical consulting firm, recognizes excellence in service to the medical community in a number of professional disciplines including real estate, insurance, accounting, banking, financial and legal services. The goals of the MD Preferred Program include identifying, acknowledging and promoting agents who provide service excellence to the medical community.

The program provides medical professionals with an online resource center where they can find profiles and contact information of "doctor friendly" professionals who are committed to providing a quality service experience. "Doctors are very busy professionals," observed Michael O'Malley, Project Manager of MD Preferred Services. "When it comes to finding an insurance agent that specializes in serving hospitals, private practices and individual physicians, they appreciate an organization that has done the research for them and has pulled a team together to make their lives easier. Our online resource center is the place where their search can begin and end."

Every MD Preferred provider is selected for their commitment to serving the healthcare industry. They often work in close concert with area medical facilities helping them evaluate and update their risk management programs and med-mal coverage. MD Preferred insurance agents are uniquely qualified to advise healthcare executives and managers as they seek cost effective, cutting edge retirement and deferred comp plans for their businesses and staff. As part of a community based team of other MD Preferred professionals they can help area medical providers attract and retain talented physicians.

"We are proud of the recognition we have received. With the current shortage of qualified physicians it's imperative that medical providers who want to attract and retain the brightest and the best be positioned to offer top-notch employee benefits including economy appropriate post-tax retirement options and well-structured executive bonus plans. These programs and plans often represent some of the largest expenses of a healthcare enterprise" Ms. Gayl observed. "Our role is to help our medical clients design and implement innovative yet proven post-tax retirement and executive bonus solutions that are compelling to staff and key executives, and cost effective to their company...allowing them to attract and retain the top talent they need to effectively serve their clients and successfully build their businesses.

About Lauren Gayl
As a serial entrepreneur with 10 years of personal business ownership and 11 years in the management consulting and HR outsourcing arena, Lauren Gayl has a unique perspective on the challenges faced by business owners, especially in the areas of benefits management, cost containment, and talent acquisition and retention. Lauren also has a keen sense for new opportunities. When she came across Patrick Kelly's book "Tax-Free Retirement", which was written specifically for Physicians, she immediately saw the benefit the Tax-Free Retirement strategy could bring to small medical practices that were being shunned by top talent because they had no retirement plans in place, as well as to larger providers that already had qualified plans and were looking for alternatives to those plans. She now specializes in helping medical organizations shift their retirement paradigm from the outdated tax-deferred 401k model to the economy relevant post-tax Tax Free Retirement strategy.  She also assists them with their executive bonus programs, shifting that paradigm from Company Owned Life Insurance (COLI) to Self-Owned Life and Retirement (S.O.L.A.R.).
