Lufkin Benefit Solutions

Lufkin Benefit Solutions In the beginning…
Lufkin Benefit Solutions was founded in 2013 as an Enhanced benefits (voluntary benefits) agency based out of Urbandale, Iowa.

For the first roughly 3 years our main function was managing voluntary benefits for a single carrier for over 2,000 businesses ranging from 3 to 53,000 employees.

Moving on up…
In October of 2015 LBS’s president Brad Lufkin along with two business partners purchased a 10,000 ft2 building in Johnston, IA. This move came just in time as we were outgrowing our original office in Urbandale. In Nove

mber of 2015 Lufkin Benefit Solutions moved to its current location 5530 West Parkway, Johnston IA.

2017 transition…
In January of 2017 LBS moved away from working with just one carrier and began to partner with several other companies that specialize in worksite enhanced benefits. This move came as we saw major shifts in the world of medical and voluntary benefits as a whole. In this competitive marketplace we feel our customers are better served by having more options at the point of solution decision.

Why LBS? Many people need a solution to cover what “traditional insurance” does not. We see value in offering a smart/simple approach to the complicated world of enhanced benefits.

As you’ve likely seen, group health plan costs continue to rise. Higher premiums are being driven by medical trend increases, pharmacy costs, and changes in utilization. Because of this, many employers are facing increased budget pressure while trying to support their employees and manage expectations during renewal periods.

The good news is that controlling costs doesn’t have to mean reducing benefits or shifting more expenses to employees. The real objective is to improve your cost-to-coverage ratio and ensure that every dollar spent delivers meaningful value.

Swipe for a few key methods to help you evaluate and manage rising health plan costs.
