Strategy and Planning
Tailoring a benefits formula to your business.
We live in a new world of employee benefits. Understand current strategies and trends for plan design and cost containment.
Today, there is no single formula for benefit plans. Industry standards still exist and we provide benchmark comparisons as part of our employee benefit services, but businesses today are thinking outside the traditional structure to determine how best to match employee desire, company culture, and budget. We listen to you, strive to understand your business and benefit needs, and help you develop a strategy to meet them.
New Perspective: Take a fresh look at your benefits programs. Hear new ideas about benefits strategy and streamlining your programs.
Foster Goodwill: Employees appreciate having a choice of products and services to meet their changing needs.

Account Management
Your benefits concierge.
As a part of our employee benefit services package, each client is assigned a dedicated account manager to aid and advise regarding any benefits or HR matter. You will have their email and a phone number that rings right on their desk. We do not operate a call center. Your account manager will take responsibility for enrollments, changes, and terminations. They will help with claims, billing, or benefits questions and provide forms, documents, and education materials. They will guide you through the renewal process each year, and train you in using the benefits administration portal.
Employee Education
To understand, appreciate, and value their benefits.
Benefits packages are a partnership between employers and employees. Employers want them to be understood and be appreciated for the significant value they represent. Our employee benefit services include education which not only communicates worth, but increases utilization.
Understanding: Company-sponsored benefits are a critical slice of total compensation. Education helps employees understand and appreciate the benefits provided.
Employee Benefits Portal: Available both online and mobile, this site becomes the go-to for information and enrollment. Everything benefits-related, including compliance notices, is posted and accessible here.
Education Events: We offer group meetings, on-site and online. Our open enrollment package summarizes all plans, changes, cost sharing, and enrollment instructions.
HR Services
Beyond employee benefits insurance – supporting your HR department with tools and advice from certified professionals.
Our employee benefit services package includes access to a live helpline along with an entire HR and benefits library.
HR Helpline: Enjoy phone and email access to live HR experts for questions or concerns. This service is provided by a national HR management consultant firm. Bankers provides it to our clients at no cost.
HR Portal: Leverage your private, web-based portal containing information and documents on HR and benefits matters. Browse HR compliance, news, and educational materials. Utilize its management resources, tools, guides, and document templates. This voluminous and powerful resource is hosted by an industry-leading provider and passed to our clients at no cost.
Compliance
Maintain currency with applicable laws.
IRS, DOLopens PDF file , ERISA, ACA, COBRA, HIPAA, FMLA, ADA, GINA, Medicare…keeping track of current regulations is a challenge. Rules change frequently and our clients increasingly express concern regarding this. Maintain legal compliance with our BenAdmin platform and entire suite of tools, resources, and services.
COBRA Administration
A complicated and laborious process. We provide you with a comprehensive third party service package to keep you compliant. Our BenAdmin platform will automatically trigger required notices to new enrollees and terminated employees alike. All services are passed to our clients at no cost.
Benefits Notices
Automate required notices that arise throughout the year. Access a complete bundle of announcements and a calendar for timely distribution. Required notices will vary depending on business size, state, industry, etc.
Plan Documents
Any business using an ERISA Health and Welfare plan is required to distribute Summary Plan Descriptions (SPD’s) to employees. A carrier plan will not meet this requirement. Benefit plan audits are increasing and a best practice to avoid liability is to implement a Wrap SPD to supplement insurance plan booklets. We guide our clients to a legal resource that can provide such documentation.
Reporting
Affordable Care Act reporting for Applicable Large Employers (ALEs), and 5500 reporting for plans having 100 or more subscribers represent critical reporting requirements. Bankers provides resources to ensure compliance with ACA and 5500 reporting.
