Mario Roker
President, Federal Benefits Exchange
Mario Roker is President of Federal Benefits Exchange, where his focus is the health and life insurance side of the federal benefits picture: FEHB plan decisions, how that coverage interacts with Medicare Part B at 65, and what FEGLI really costs as its age-based premiums step up. It's the half of federal benefits that gets the least attention and carries some of the largest long-term costs.
He brings more than 15 years in health and life insurance across group benefits and senior health coverage, and also leads Insurance Masters LLC. Much of that work is Affordable Care Act compliance: reading dense federal regulation closely enough to tell people what it actually means for them, which is the same discipline federal benefit rules demand. His aim is to take the jargon out of coverage decisions so federal employees can see their options plainly before they commit.
