Today marks another major milestone in our company’s evolution.
From day one, I founded LaborFirst with the mission to improve the health benefits experience for union members and their families. Since then, we’ve built our reputation as the leader in servicing Group Medicare retiree plans. Our unique service model with personalized advocacy has earned world-class Net Promoter Scores and won two consecutive Gold Stevie® Awards. Our client base has grown to more than 450 groups. I’m proud to say that, even after all these years, we have no real competition because no other company can replicate what we do. LaborFirst created this solution, we set the standard, and we continue to lead the way.
That’s why we have renamed our core solution for Group Medicare plans as RetireeFirst—and we will continue to put the needs and satisfaction of retiree members first. This is one step of a larger vision.
As our company grew over the last decade, our clients kept asking if we could extend our award-winning service model to their full member population. For the past year, we’ve been building HealthActive, a LaborFirst solution for active working members. I’m excited to announce our two solutions as we unite under a LaborFirst corporate brand that speaks to our founding mission, heritage, and strong bonds. We’re one company providing two solutions that support and guide members along their healthcare journey:
- RetireeFirst – Our core Retiree Benefits Management solution supporting over 375,000 retirees in all 50 states
- HealthActive – Our new healthcare navigation and advocacy solution for active working members and pre-65 retirees on self-insured health plans
Building a new solution has been no small undertaking. We’ve expanded our advocacy team, integrated with top national carriers, and invested in new technology—all to deliver members a better service experience with a real, measurable ROI for plan sponsors.
LaborFirst is now ready to fully realize our mission to improve the health benefits experience for members at every stage of life. And trust me, this is just the beginning!
