Plan Renewal
Your policy will typically renew every 12 months. When renewing your existing arrangement, we offer a full analysis of the insurer’s proposal to ensure pricing and included benefits are fair and in-line with the market.
Components of the renewal review include:
- Quarterly monitoring of claims usage and premiums paid
- Semi-annual review and pre-renewal discussions
- Negotiation of renewal pricing and review of included benefits
- Reporting for life and disability claimants
- Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) utilization
- Drug claims reporting
- Administrative Review
- Review of Plan Design
Market Study
If you aren’t satisfied with the service provided by your current carrier, or if renewal pricing is higher than what is expected in the market, we’d recommend testing the competitiveness of your current plan with a market study.
Components of the market study include:
- Request for quote will be sent to major insurance providers
- Review of pricing and plans to determine best fit for your business’ requirements
- Easy-to-understand delivery of results and plan recommendation
- Implementation of the selected plan and rollout of policy to the plan administrator and plan members
