Custom Benefit Consultants offers business health insurance

by DAN JONES

Employee insurance plans can keep your team, and your business, healthy and happy.

The Connection recently caught up with Ben Hanson, sales manager at Custom Benefit Consultants (CBC), to discuss how the company is helping Costco members with convenient and comprehensive health insurance packages for small and big businesses.

Costco Connection Why is business health insurance important?
Ben Hanson Business health insurance is a key tool business owners can use to recruit and retain employees. Coverage under an employer-sponsored plan typically offers a larger selection of plans and doctor networks to choose from compared to individual plans, and provides peace of mind to employees that their health-related needs are supported. Likewise, most plans have a wide array of resources, including wellness, preventive visits, physical therapy and mental health support.

CC How is Custom Benefit Consultants helping small businesses?
BH We have helped thousands of small businesses find health insurance solutions for their employees at our dedicated online portal: the CBC Health Insurance Marketplace for Costco Members. Members can shop and compare plans, generate a custom proposal and speak with a licensed health care ambassador for personalized support. The technology and resources that we make available help members find the right solution for their businesses.

CC How does CBC serve large businesses?
BH The CBC Health Insurance Marketplace for Costco Members is helping large employer groups to successfully implement effective cost-containment strategies, efficient and time-saving administrative solutions and prescription drug savings. In addition to finding the right plans and rates, large businesses may require a substantial amount of administrative and compliance support. Our platform has been designed to help relieve the administrative burden.

CC What benefits do you offer to Costco members?
BH Members in many states have access to custom medical and dental plans that aren’t available anywhere else. Dedicated resources allow small businesses to create a plan online that is specifically tailored to their budget, and all members get a health advocate service along with their plan that assists with coverage issues and access. For large businesses, benefits administration support helps members save on the costs of managing their plans.
