Benefit Strategy & Plan Design
In developing a benefits strategy for our clients, we will analyze the following items in detail:
- Culture & wellness activities
- Intervention level
- Claim analytics & domestic claim metrics
- Plan design
- Consumerism/HDHP/HSA
- Employee communications
- Contribution strategy & funding
- Income protection
- Compliance
Benefit plan design is one of many factors we analyze in detail when developing a benefits strategy for our clients. We conduct real-time plan modeling to determine ideal plan designs, payroll deductions, plan funding structures, and more.
We also have expertise in evaluating your current funding mechanism and guiding you through the process of transitioning from fully insured to level funded and or self-funded. This process includes captives and non-captive options, as well as evaluating the structure and performance of your stop loss coverage, recommending alternatives as appropriate.
We engage our clients in a series of in-person planning sessions to model benefit plan designs and quantify the impact those changes may have on employee behavior and the bottom line. During these sessions, our experts share an executive summary of their findings from retrospective, concurrent, and predictive analytics. We also discuss the data in real-time, addressing any questions or concerns as they arise.
Case Studies
Analyzing Claims Data Leads to Millions in Savings
PEPM Rx cost took a huge jump in September of 2015, and after a few months, it was clear that this was not an aberration, but the new “normal”. The spike was so profound that year over year Rx costs more than doubled - to the tune of an additional $2.8M dollars. The claims revealed that one drug, being used by three members of one family, was accounting for the entirety of the additional spend.
Ease of Billing and Reporting Saves Immense Time and Effort
Head Start is the primary service the group provides to the public. Because it is a teaching program, a large population of employees (between 200-300) are laid off during the summer. The process of suspending benefits for this group of employees was done manually by the group within the payroll/benefit admin system, which took the group weeks to complete. The ACA reporting done by the payroll carrier was filled with errors, and incredibly time consuming for the HR department. The group manually reconciled billings from several different carriers. During Open Enrollment, when the employees had questions about the benefits admin system or the benefits offered, they called the HR department directly, increasing the workload tremendously.
