Full Suite of Voluntary Benefits

 

Our integrated and flexible suite of voluntary benefits fall into three categories: supplemental benefits, lifestyle benefits and employee discounts. Integrated with open enrollment and qualifying life events, our supplemental benefits provide additional coverage to fill gaps or cover the out-of-pocket costs of health care. Lifestyle benefits are typically evergreen benefits that allow employees to choose additional coverages that are specific to their lifestyles and life stages. This category includes financial wellness services that enable employees to leverage purchase and loan programs through payroll deductions.

Voluntary Benefits Marketplace

 

Our MyBenefitsPlus Marketplace is a standalone lifestyle voluntary benefits and employee discount shopping experience not tied to employee benefits.

Both the full suite of voluntary benefits and the Marketplace offer employee discounts

 

Employee discounts are value-added perks in the form of shopping discounts from national brands and merchandisers as well as some local vendors, that help save money on the products and services that today’s employees want and need most. 

Customizing a comprehensive solution for your unique population

As we analyze a client’s experience with voluntary benefits and their goals around driving positive engagement with discounted products, we customize a plan that will delight their employees with a seamless experience. We work closely with our clients to deliver a robust and custom solution that reflects the needs of their employees and families, and we negotiate with carriers for the flexible plan designs needed for each organization that we work with.

Employer sponsored voluntary benefits administration

 

We provide voluntary benefits solutions designed to change and grow with your organization’s needs. There are more than 20 existing products integrated within our offering, and we continuously add new products to our end-to-end solution for supplemental and lifestyle benefits and employee discounts. We will work together with you to select the most impactful products and carriers to deliver your strategic goals, and integrate the offering into your employee benefits platform and open enrollment portal with your own branded voluntary benefits site. Our voluntary products may be governed by qualified events and integrated directly into the enrollment experience, or they may be evergreen products that are made available and marketed to employees throughout the year. No matter how you customize your bundle, every employer sponsored plan includes a team of specialists, custom-branded employee site, enrollment integration, year-round communications and support, payroll deduction integration, eligibility files, 24/7 customer service, and employee perks.
