Simplify your group health benefits
The Foxhound Group helps employers in Colorado and across the country build cost-effective benefits their employees actually understand, then stays on call to keep them compliant and get claims paid. We also protect businesses with commercial insurance, and help individuals and retirees find the right health and Medicare coverage.
Benefits your team actually understands, and people who pick up the phone.
Who is The Foxhound Group?
The Foxhound Group is an independent insurance agency group based in Boulder and Fort Collins, Colorado, and home to Volk Insurance Benefits. We advise employers on group health and ancillary benefits, renewal negotiations, HR and benefits compliance (ACA, ERISA, COBRA, Colorado FAMLI) benefits administration and commercial property & casualty insurance, and we help individuals with health insurance and Medicare. Our consulting is typically paid through carrier commissions, so a benefits review costs you nothing.

What our clients say
After my 1-year-old son ended up in the hospital with bronchitis, there was a dispute between one of the care providers and Cigna about cost. I would have been stuck paying the difference, over $1,500. Ronnie at [The Foxhound Group] negotiated with Cigna on my behalf and was able to get our claim resubmitted, and Cigna agreed to pay the balance. I would never have known how to navigate the system to get to a person inside who could help, but Ronnie took care of everything for us.
Luke Warner
My health insurance flip-flops between employer coverage and the individual marketplace. I have called on Volk in my moments of need over the past few years, as the flip-flopping is very confusing and stressful to me, particularly under tight deadlines. The folks at Volk are always helpful. I recommend Volk 100%.
Aaron Burns
Volk Ins. has helped me wade through all the health insurance options. Volk found the best and affordable plan every year for me. Their knowledge of the ins and outs is outstanding. I'm glad I did!

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to work with The Foxhound Group?
For most employer health plans, individual plans and Medicare plans, there is no fee to you. Carriers pay us a commission that is already built into the premium, so you pay the same rate whether or not you use an advisor. If a project calls for a separate consulting fee, we tell you up front.
Where are you located, and do you only work in Colorado?
Our offices are at 2511 31st Street in Boulder and 1336 Oakridge Drive in Fort Collins. We serve clients nationwide: employers, individuals and families in any state. Many are here in Colorado, and we also work with companies based elsewhere and with employers whose people are spread across several states.
What size employers do you work with?
We work with small groups of a few employees up to large self-funded and level-funded employers, with dedicated small-group and group benefits divisions.
Can you help my employees with claims and billing problems?
Yes. Our team is on call for your employees' plan and claims questions and regularly negotiates mis-billed claims with providers and carriers.
How do I switch my benefits to The Foxhound Group?
Schedule a free meeting. If you decide to work with us, we file a broker-of-record letter with your carriers; your plans and coverage don't change, only who is advocating for you.
