Strategy
We first shopped the traditional market to compare and analyze the rates with their current benefits. We also looked at other alternatives for offering health insurance. Leveraging our national partners, we utilized an association in Illinois that only works with engineering firms. We were able to secure richer benefits with more competitive rates.
Results
Our approach to procuring insurance led to over a 40% savings on premiums and a significant enhancement of their benefits. Additionally, switching to this association allowed them to go from age rated to composite rated plans. The company has retained some of the best talent in their industry and continues to use the benefits as a tool to recruit more talent.
