bswift Benefits Administration Solutions Featuring bswift’s Proprietary Defined Contribution Technology

he bswift Benefits Administration platform will enable employers of all sizes—from 2 to 100,000+ employees—to provide an engaging, intelligent and personalized retail experience for consumers shopping for benefits.

The Nuts & Bolts Proven Technology. We’ve drawn on our 16+ years in the benefits administration marketplace, including our experience running numerous private and public exchanges, to create the best platform out there. Features of our core technology include:

bswift’s proprietary Defined Contribution platform, with the configurability to handle all kinds of benefit plans and contribution strategies

Employer tools including reporting, alerts, ACA compliance and the bswift Dashboard—featuring bswift’s Affordability panel

Efficient setup and maintenance to handle both initial enrollments and ongoing administration and renewals

Electronic data interchange (EDI) with numerous carriers, partners, and administrators

Billing

Premium Products. Stores are only as good as their products, and benefit platforms are no different. Leverage our inventory or bring your own relationships and products to the table. It’s up to you!

bswift advantages include:

Premium national carrier partners for ancillary and voluntary benefits, including dental, vision, life, disability, accident insurance and more

Simplified administration: carrier partners have committed to collaborate with bswift to offer employers a streamlined, integrated and reliable “end-to-end” process for enrollment, eligibility and billing

Flexibility to plug in health carriers on a regional basis; after all, “health care is local”

The Experience Superior Service. Often compared to online travel sites, health and benefit platforms are significantly more complex due to the ongoing administrative nature of the service. Unlike travel sites where buyers complete a one-time transaction, benefit platforms must manage enrollment and eligibility changes throughout the year in the face of numerous regulations and employment-driven changes. bswift has the people and tools to help guide you and your employees through the process, including:

Consumer shopping and decision support tools, featuring bswift’s video library, proprietary Best Fit Plan Advisor and the new Interactive Benefit Advisor

Highly personalized & friendly Call Center—an extension of your HR team and corporate culture—going beyond service to gracious hospitality with knowledgeable bswift benefits professionals helping employees

Employer support and tools: to set up your Defined Contribution program, benchmark your benefits, enable easy and secure access to data, and provide ongoing support of your program and ACA compliance

Presenting

Built on bswift’s state-of-the-art enrollment technology, the Springboard Marketplace offers:

A consumer-oriented shopping experience with our Ask Emma decision-support tool Here’s your chance to offer employees greater choice and promote a consistent and elegant shopping experience with the help of our proprietary, interactive Ask Emma decision support tool. She’s there with employees every step of the way and won’t ask for information she already knows. She’s smart. She’s helpful. She’s trustworthy.

Defined contribution and wellness incentives If you’re looking to rein in your spending on corporate health care and shift ownership to your employees, consider a defined contribution strategy. Springboard Marketplace gives you the flexibility to apply this approach in the most cost-effective way: For example, you can use defined contribution for medical plans and continue to offer employer-paid plans for other benefits, like life and disability. Additionally, with Springboard Marketplace, you can incorporate wellness incentives into your defined contribution program.

Defined Contribution Reining in the employer’s rising costs of health care Recruiting and retaining key employees is important to every company, and your employee benefit program is a key part of the compensation you offer to your employees. Due to the rising costs of traditional employer-sponsored health insurance, defined contribution is gaining popularity across the U.S.

You decide how much, they decide what works. With defined contribution, you give your employees a set amount of money to spend on benefits—it’s like an allowance for their insurance—and they use that money to shop for the coverage that meets their individual needs. So instead of offering a “one-size-fits-all” health and benefits package, you empower your employees to choose the combination of coverage that’s just right for them. You set up rules around where the money is spent. For example, if you gave your employees a monthly allowance of $350, you could decide that $300 can be spent on health insurance, and $50 can be used for dental coverage, a vision plan or other benefits. And if you want to keep offering some plans that are 100% employer-paid—like long-term disability or life insurance—that’s up to you.

We make it easy for you to decide how to allocate the funds, and our decision support tools help your employees decide which plans work best.

Defined Contribution Advantages:

For Employers ✔ Control the employer’s rising costs of health care✔ Promote consumerism✔ Flexibility to tailor the health and benefits allowance for youremployees✔ Fast and easy to implement

For Employees ✔ Easy to understand allowance concept✔ More freedom to choose from a greater number of plan options✔ Potential for additional, more personalized coverage✔ Decision support tools help decide which plans fit best

Do your employees need help selecting the best health insurance plan for them? Best Fit can help!

What is Best Fit? Best Fit is a decision support tool that helps employees make an educated choice when selecting a health insurance plan. Employees will see a side-by-side comparison of plan details and estimated total costs based on:

Milliman averages for their metropolitan area

The pre-insurance costs for in-network services

The underlying plan design to calculate an estimated post-insurance out of pocket expense total

Employees can personalize the estimates by selecting a health status for their family members and adjusting projected health needs such as doctor visits, prescriptions and more.

The Best Fit tool helps employees understand the relationship between their healthcare consumption and out-of-pocket costs.

An evolution in how medical insurance is offered To illustrate the key advantages of a defined contribution plan, let’s compare the “old” decision-making process to the “new.”

Current Process for Defined Benefit Approach With traditional medical coverage, the employee benefit is built around one or two plan designs offered by a single insurance carrier. As the sponsor, you absorb much of the cost.

New Process for Defined Contribution Approach With a defined contribution approach, the employee benefit is built around a set dollar amount that you determine. Adopting this strategy is generally less costly for employers and offers retirees a menu of Medicare or individual plans from which to choose. All this is possible with the bswift/HealthPlanOne exchange-based solution.

There’s good reason why HealthPlanOne was recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in the country by Deloitte© and Inc.© Magazine. As experienced experts in the Medicare and health insurance market, our robust exchange solution is helping employers meet – and more often times exceed – employee benefit, financial and administrative objectives.
