If you operate like most businesses, you want to provide employees with a comprehensive health insurance portfolio and benefits package at an affordable price. And it is likely that you repeat the same frustrating process year-after-year in preparation for plan renewals.
The process typically begins with a few prayers for a low premium increase followed by reviewing quotes, comparing benefits and networks, leapfrogging from one insurance company to another and shifting more costs to your employees. To make matters worse, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has placed emphasis on regulatory requirements, which adds to your administrative burden.
Now is the time to break with this tradition and work with the team at PTC Corporate Coverage Group.
“Our team negotiates in your best interest, represents unique products and delivery systems, and leverages technology to support your employee enrollment, communications and reporting,” said Audrey Russo, Pittsburgh Technology Council President and CEO, when asked about why members should consider PTC CCG.
While negotiations, products and technology are critical to creating the right insurance plans, maintaining the effectiveness and employee satisfaction of the benefits program also requires accessibility and support. While it’s true that open enrollment is a challenging time of year, you need quality customer service, compliance support, ongoing education, technology upgrades and strategic planning throughout the year.
