Employee Benefit Consulting
Employee Health Benefits:
Healthcare: To navigate the highly-regulated healthcare marketplace, you need an intelligent, strategic partner. We are experts who work with some of the best insurance brokers in the industry to craft the best healthcare solutions for you and your employees.
Tax Advantage Accounts: HRA, HSA, or FSA? Helping your employees pay for qualified health care expenses is more important than ever in today’s healthcare marketplace but knowing what plan to choose can be incredibly confusing. There is much more involved than who contributes to and owns the account. We can help you sort through all the confusion to find the plan that best addresses your specific needs.
Ancillary Benefits
Providing cost-effective ancillary benefits such as group life insurance, long-term and short-term disability, and other specialized coverage for your employees can save significantly on your bottom line through higher retention and less out-of-pocket costs. We work with you to recommend strong, strategic, and creative ancillary strategies uniquely tailored for your company and employee population.
Benefit Administration
We administer employee benefits plans for hundreds of our clients. They’ve found great ROI in making us their primary benefits administrator and concentrating on their core business operations. Imagine not having to worry about:
- Enrollment processing
- Renewals
- Compliance Issues
- Claim Resolutions
- Contract Interpretation Questions
Our administrators are experts, not only in the process but in ensuring your costs are controlled and your employees are well supported and happy.
