We’re Ready to Get Started

Let us recommend a well thought-out strategy designed just for your company.

Strategic Plan Development:

What’s Your Ideal Employee Benefits Program? Developing a top-notch strategy requires collaboration and creativity. First, we initiate a plan development process to help you define your dream employee benefits program. Then we help you prioritize your wish list and work with you to design and implement the most functional, cost-effective benefit option for your size company.

We’re Proactive and Forward Thinking We understand the uniqueness of your organization and your employees. That’s why we take a pro-active, forward-thinking approach when we map out the strategy that best fits your organization.

Vendor Management

Superior Service with a Low Client to Consultant Ratio One of the areas we excel in is providing superior vendor management. Why? Because our first priority is service, period. In an industry that’s moving toward more automation and away from personal interaction, we maintain our commitment to being available and attentive to our clients. It’s not unusual for some carriers to assign 50-100 accounts to a client service representative. This translates to an average of less than three hours of actual account management service per month. That’s not acceptable by our standards.

At FSI we deliberately keep our client to account manager ratio low so that we can deliver the hands-on service we’re known for. This ratio sometimes varies slightly based on client size and complexity, but it never goes over 10 clients to 1 consultant.

Service that Sets the Standard As a standard part of our service, we’re also available to help you with a wide variety of issues that impact your workplace.

  • Claim compliance and problem resolution
  • Contract and SPD compliance and review
  • Billing or eligibility assistance
  • Enrollment assistance, including meetings and presentations
  • Competitive bidding of any coverage, as needed
  • Stop loss procurement, intervention and reimbursement assistance
  • Assistance in committee or board presentations
  • Health Fair assistance
  • International benefits design and implementation
  • Other assistance as necessary (communication review, train-the-trainer meetings, focus group surveys, and more)

Strategic Partnerships

We Use Strategic Partners to Offer You Even More Services We rely on a host of strategic partners to offer our clients a cadre of other services including:

  • HIPAA privacy auditing and compliance assistance
  • Group health plan claim audits (Health Insurance)
  • HR practices consulting

Financial Plan Analysis

Your Benefits Strategy Begins with Comprehensive, Useful Data At FSI, we understand the genesis of any meaningful analysis begins with the collection of comprehensive data. We work closely with your vendors to gather plan information and consolidate it into regular reports for you. This gives us a depth of decision support information we use to monitor the strategic direction and design of your benefits program.

Depending on the size of your company, a standard set of reports may include some or all of the following:

  • Detailed employee contributions
  • Plan Accounting
  • Plan costs set on a employee and on a member basis
  • Aggregate stop loss reporting
  • Calendar year or fiscal year group health plan reconciliation
  • Retiree accounting for FAS 106 accounting and reporting

Ongoing Rate Development, Plan Projections and Negotiation Assistance In addition to reporting, we provide assistance in these areas as well.

  • COBRA rate development and annual adjustments
  • Renewal assistance, including financial and plan negotiations
  • Budget assistance including plan projections and estimated plan change savings
