America’s workforce is stressed. Between the constant demands of the workplace, family and other outside obligations, it can be difficult for employees to fully focus at work when other issues are demanding their attention. Employees face any number of personal concerns, from depression and family issues to substance abuse, financial debt or caring for an elderly parent. Over time, these issues often escalate and result in lowered productivity and morale, as well as increased absenteeism, turnover, accidents, compensation claims and healthcare costs. According to the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, presenteeism alone costs nearly $150 billion per year in lost productivity.

Fundamentally, a group health and dental program is simply a “cost-plus” arrangement. The “cost” is represented by the claims incurred and the “plus” refers to the administration fees charged by insurance carriers, brokers and related third parties to manage, adjudicate and administer the claims.

So how do you know what is right for your organization? You can start by determining your needs and finding the right partner.
