Traditionally, many plan sponsors have managed their post-65 retiree population by offering the same group medical plans provided to their active workers. While this approach has historically worked well, the associated liability and administrative complexity can place a significant burden on benefit administrators and their professional staff. Properly implementing a Medicare Medical Supplement plan can relieve not only the administrative burden, but reduce long term financial liabilities as well.
Medicare Medical Supplement plans help pay some or all of the health care costs that Original Medicare does not cover, including copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. Through our integrated platform and utilizing our group purchasing power, we deliver best in class Medicare Medical Supplement plans and pricing not available in the individual market.
Our solution is fully integrated into every aspect of selecting, implementing and managing the most efficient medical benefits available in the retiree market.
