EPIC taps pharmacy veteran to lead employee benefits nationally. Big Three PBM share fell nine points in 2026 as small employers moved away on fiduciary grounds. EPIC's response is to put a specialist in charge of its entire national employee benefits practice. EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants has promoted Adam Okun (pictured) to president of its national employee benefits practice. The move puts pharmacy consulting at the center of the firm's strategy heading into one of the costliest benefits renewal cycles in years. Okun, a 20-year employee benefits veteran, succeeds Craig Hasday, who takes on the role of vice chairman of employee benefits. He reports to Phil Moyles, co-president of EPIC. His primary mandate is integrating Pharmaceutical Strategies Group (PSG), an EPIC pharmacy consulting subsidiary, directly into the firm's employee benefits platform. PSG has historically served commercial payers and large multinational organizations. Okun's appointment signals EPIC's intent to extend that expertise to employers of all sizes, from small group clients through to large national accounts. Pharmacy costs drive the mandate. Prescription drug costs are projected to climb 11.5% in 2027, according to the 2027 Segal Health Plan Cost Trend Survey. Plans covering GLP-1 medications for obesity management recorded pharmacy cost trend rates of 18.3% in 2025 based on Segal's plan experience data. For mid-market employers, pharmacy spend has moved from a line item to a strategic problem. "Pharmacy benefits are a uniquely complex endeavor and employers need expertise that extends beyond traditional brokerage services," Hasday said. "Adam's leadership will deepen our pharmacy integration platform, resulting in easier access to more sophisticated pharmacy solutions for employers and their employees." A market moving toward specialists. The share of employer-sponsored plans using one of the three largest pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) fell nine points in a single year, from 63.4% in 2025 to 54.3% in 2026, according to the 2026 Pulse of the Purchaser survey published by the National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions. Smaller employers drove the shift, citing contract transparency gaps and fiduciary concerns. Okun will also align EPIC's four client segments: small group, lower middle market, upper middle market, and large national consulting, under a more integrated national structure. The aim is giving clients access to specialist resources and local market knowledge through a single point of engagement. "Our clients' needs are becoming ever more specialized, increasing their reliance on advisors who understand the unique challenges facing their business and workforce," Okun said. "I am laser focused on harnessing the full impact of our practice such that clients can access the right specialists, resources and solutions, regardless of their point of origin or the solutions they may have relied upon in the past." Okun joined EPIC through its 2017 acquisition of Frenkel Benefits, where he served as co-president. He most recently served as regional practice leader before the August promotion. EPIC describes itself as a top 20 benefits consultant and broker in the US, with more than 1,500 employer clients. The appointment comes as prescription drug costs reshape how employers fund their health plans, and as brokers face growing pressure to deliver pharmacy expertise alongside traditional consulting.

IMA Financial sues former advisor and rival EPIC over alleged client poaching. He quit "effective immediately" - then ten clients followed him out, his old firm says. A Wichita brokerage says a departing advisor diverted its clients to a rival while still being paid by the firm. Now it's suing both. IMA Financial Group filed suit on June 5, 2026, in federal court in Kansas against former employee benefits advisor Ryan Gino Giannini and competitor EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants. The complaint says Giannini quit "effective immediately" on May 5, 2026, and alleges he ignored the 30-day notice period his contract required. That notice period is the heart of the case. IMA says Giannini signed a non-solicitation agreement on April 1, 2021, promising "at least thirty (30) days advance written notice" before leaving. During those 30 days, the agreement says, he would "continue to owe a fiduciary obligation and a duty of loyalty" to IMA - a duty to put the firm's interests first. He did the opposite, IMA alleges. About a week before quitting, the filing says, Giannini called at least six clients, told them he was leaving, and gave them his personal contact details. According to the complaint, he told the clients he wished to keep in touch and that there was more to come soon. EPIC, which IMA calls a direct competitor, is accused of inducing and supporting the moves. The complaint describes Giannini as "a covert agent for EPIC" who acted as "a double agent" after resigning - collecting pay from both firms, IMA alleges, while shifting accounts. The tool for that shift, familiar to any brokerage, is the broker of record letter, which tells a carrier who controls a client's coverage. IMA says the change notices came fast. On May 21, 2026, "the floodgates opened," the filing says, with five clients switching in one day. One told IMA, according to the complaint: "we have switched brokers to Epic (with Gino)." IMA says it lost ten clients during the notice period - business it describes as worth "hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost annual revenue," and many of them higher-revenue accounts. Against EPIC, IMA claims tortious interference, saying it notified the firm of Giannini's contract on May 13, 2026, and that EPIC's lawyers "acknowledged awareness of the Agreement" days later but kept him on. IMA also alleges EPIC agreed to cover Giannini's legal exposure, and that the two share a law firm. IMA's four counts include breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference, and a "faithless servant" claim seeking to recover the pay Giannini drew during what IMA calls his period of disloyalty. It wants damages, an injunction, and a jury trial. None of this has been tested in court. Giannini and EPIC have not filed a response, and no court has ruled on any of IMA's claims.
