The availability and affordability of health insurance and other employee benefits are among the most important issues you confront in your businesses today.  Given your feedback and changes being implemented by the insurance carriers this year, we are offering a new and valuable benefits program to you and your employees

We have joined forces with Liazon, a national benefits trendsetter, to bring you the real benefits innovation you demand. Liazon's Bright Choices™ program increases your benefits choices, lowers your costs, reduces your administration headaches and makes it easy for you and your employees to buy the benefits you need.

Check out the article on CNNMoney.com detailing Liazon's health insurance innovation and the EmployersWeb.com article Help Employees in New Role as Benefits Consumers to learn more.

 A Marketplace of Benefits Choices. Liazon’s program provides you with a full suite of employee benefits from leading carriers. Most are services that you can't access on a direct purchase basis. With our new benefits marketplace you can explore diverse plans and services - for health, dental, vision, life insurance, disability, supplemental health, long term care insurance and others.

Lower Benefits Costs. With more choices, the new program lets you control your benefits costs and define how much you will contribute to benefits. It is a consumer-centric solution that allows you and your employees to buy the right benefits at the right price.

Benefits Consumerism. The award-winning Bright Choices Consumer Portal lets users assess benefits needs - both health and wealth - and build a personal Benefits Portfolio to meet those needs. The Bright Choices portal provides all the tools, tutorials and transactions to make you a more effective benefits consumer, and it lets you automate enrollment, eligibility, and billing. Complementing the portal is a consumer advocacy Helpline to answer benefits questions 365 days a year.

The program gives you access to a wide range of new plans and national carriers including:

• Multiple health plan options, ranging from traditional co-pay plans to HSA-qualified consumer-driven options, from which all Member employees are free to select
• Several dental options with multiple tiers of coverage and no participation requirements, giving you unparalleled options for the coverage you need
• A number of other benefits, including Vision, Long-Term Care, and new Life, Disability, and other Supplemental insurance policies
• Personalized guidance from a team of professionals, through Liazon’s award-winning Bright Choices™ online technology, over the phone, and in-person

This is a level of benefit choice and breadth of options that no company would be able to access on its own, either by calling the insurance companies directly, or through a traditional insurance broker.   Check out our Bright Choices Info Sheet and Frequently Asked Questions to learn more!
