No, and this is one reason benefits packages can be more flexible than many small employers realize.

Some benefits may be completely employer-paid.
Others can be employee-paid.
And some costs can be shared.

The key is building a package that provides value to employees without creating a financial commitment the business can’t sustain.

There may be carrier contribution and participation requirements depending on the coverage, so we help employers structure the package correctly from the beginning.

Two health plans can look very similar and still treat your prescriptions very differently.

Before choosing a plan, let BMB check:

• Whether your medications are covered
• What tier they fall into
• Whether prior authorization is required
• Whether there are quantity limits
• Whether a generic alternative is available

Prescription coverage can have a major impact on your actual yearly cost.

Quick benefits translation:

A 20% coinsurance does not usually mean you pay 20% of the original bill.

It typically means you pay 20% of the insurance company’s allowed amount after the deductible rules are applied.

Knowing the difference between deductible, copay and coinsurance makes your plan much easier to understand.

Think of it as somewhere between traditional fully insured coverage and traditional self-funding.

The employer makes a predictable monthly payment that typically includes claims funding, administration and stop-loss coverage.

One of the biggest differences? Employers may gain more insight into how their plan is actually performing and some arrangements may provide an opportunity to share in favorable claims results.

Level-funded isn’t right for every employer, but it’s absolutely worth understanding when comparing options.

When was the last time you checked your life insurance beneficiary?

Marriage, divorce, children, remarriage and other life changes can all affect who you want listed.

Your beneficiary designation is not something you should set once and forget forever.

A quick review can prevent a very complicated situation later.

What is an Evidence of Insurability?

Sometimes employees can elect life or disability coverage up to a certain amount without answering health questions.

If they elect more than the guaranteed amount or enroll after their original eligibility period, the carrier may require Evidence of Insurability.

That usually means answering health questions before the additional coverage can be approved.

Until the carrier approves it, that extra coverage will not be active. BMB keeps track of these little things for you!

This is one we hear all the time.

Depending on how your plan is funded, your own claims may be only one piece of the renewal and sometimes they may have very little impact if any at all.

Carrier rate changes, medical and prescription costs, demographics, overall risk pools and plan design can all play a role.

That’s why we don’t just look at the percentage increase. We look at what is driving it and what options we have to address it.

Having a baby does NOT automatically mean the baby is enrolled on your health plan.

A birth creates a special enrollment opportunity, but the employee still has to notify the employer and complete the required enrollment within 30 days of the date of birth.

One of the easiest benefit mistakes to avoid is assuming the carrier already knows. Let us know when you have a life event!
