Benefit Design Strategies

Our Method

1. **Gather preliminary data **about your current benefit programs, their cost, their benefit structure, and their performance in order to gain a thorough understanding of what has transpired historically.

2. Review your overall business needs and benefit strategy.

3. **Review financial, administrative, employee satisfaction, growth and retention issues **in order to assess potential for improvement.

4. **Establish goals **to be achieved immediately as well as in the long term, including your premium contribution strategies and plan design to promote healthier lifestyles.

5. **Product recommendations **to focus on a benefit cost containment, improved outcomes, administrative efficiency, consumer engagement, member education, and financing structure. The objective at this point is to create a benefit program vision for the future.

Enrollment & Communication

One of the most important elements in a successful employee benefit plan is communication to participants. Benefit plans are becoming more complicated as insurance carriers continue to innovate and add new benefits and plan options. Additionally, with the onset of Health Care Reform, government regulations constantly change the rules for administering benefit plans. The sheer number of plans alone can be overwhelming; an employer may have as many as 15+ options. Communicating the various plan provisions to participants in addition to determining eligibility, participation rules, contributions, etc. is a challenge. We’re here to help with all of it.
