Brokerage and Consulting Services
Since 1987, clients have trusted IBP to secure the best plans at the best price. We are a team of knowledgeable experts in advocacy, actuarial, compliance and communication services. We are agile advisors on health care reform.
As your employee benefits adviser, we look beyond quick spreadsheet fixes to find opportunities for substantial savings that are sustainable across multiple plan years.
Our approach is to improve the productivity of your program and to develop solutions to accomplish your strategic goals – even in the face of healthcare reform and financial challenges.
Communication and Customer Care
We will work with you to customize a communication strategy that reflects your culture and respects your demographics. We know different generations respond to different mediums. With that in mind we can prepare your open enrollment and general benefit communications accordingly, using mobile, video, email, as well as print media.
After the benefits are in place, our Customer Care Team works with your benefits team and employees directly to resolve a variety of issues regarding enrollment, claims, billing, benefits and more. We have direct access to dedicated representatives at our carriers, so we can deliver the answers to you and your employees quickly and reliably.
Compliance
Given the complex regulations surrounding employee benefits, it is critical that health care compliance information available and easy to understand.
IBP will prepare a customized annual schedule for each client letting them know any and all notifications, tax forms, or testing to be done based on the benefits offered. Our personalized schedule will list documents and deadlines that you can refer to at any time.
Additionally, IBP will prepare your form 5500’s annual and have them signature ready for your one month prior to their filing deadline.
Wellness Tools
IBP offers all clients access to their Personal Wellness Profile (PWP) and Health Activity Tracker (HAT) software. This software is a great tool to get your organization started with a Wellness Program.
We believe in risk mitigation thru wellness. Time after time we have seen measurable results in disease management and cost control. In addition we have seen the value these programs bring beyond medical cost exposure. Wellness programs offer a way to work together and engaging all levels of staff resulting in a community based atmosphere.
HealthCare Reform
The Affordable Care Act significantly changed the landscape of employee benefits and eligibility determinations. Along with the employer mandates on coverage, the Act introduced complex rules regarding when an employee is considered ACA Full-Time, annual IRS Reporting, and mandatory notices to be distributed to all employees.
IBP advisors can tell you how today’s decisions will impact your business, now and in the future. Regardless of your path, we can help.
Actuarial Services
Actuarial services are provided to ensure that you get the fairest, most accurate and cost-effective renewal possible. Our team carries with it years of experience in formulating renewal estimates at over 95% accuracy. We have personal relationship with many carriers and will utilize those relationships when presenting our actuarial findings vs theirs.
testimonials
The IBP team has earned a spot as one of our trusted advisors. We have worked with them for over 20 years and the service today is as good if not better than when we started with them 20 years ago. They do an excellent job at coming up with innovative plan design and employee contribution strategies to control our benefit costs.
I have been very impressed with every thing at IBP. Since moving to IBP, I have been receiving “thank you” emails from employees instead of complaints. The employees also love the new an improved employee communication materials and web site IBP provided. The Benefit Center has been great and has allowed me to stay out of the loop between the employees and the customer service representatives at the carriers.
When I took my current position, it was obvious that some changes were needed. Past experience with IBP made me confident of a smooth transition to timely, accurate reporting and services tailored to our compliance requirements. The switch to IBP has made a world of difference. Knowing that our administrative requirements are being handled right the first time, every time gives me peace of mind.
IBP has been a valuable business partner in designing, customizing and administering our complex and innovative benefit plans. Our employees have access to accurate and timely information both through online tools and traditional customer service methods.
