Voluntary Benefits

Enhance Your Benefits While Controlling Costs

Voluntary benefits create a financial safety-net for your employees by augmenting employer-paid benefits. Sometimes referred to as worksite benefits, these benefits can be purchased by an employee through pre-taxed payroll deductions, at a discounted group rate.  And, surveys consistently show that employees who have access to voluntary benefits experience higher job satisfaction and a higher overall sense of financial well-being.

We can help you implement the following voluntary benefits at little or no cost to you.

Term Life Insurance

This type of life insurance does not build any cash value. However, it will pay a set amount to the named beneficiary upon the death of insured within the stated term. Additionally, some policies may also make payments upon terminal or critical illness.

Accident, Hospital Indemnity & Critical Care Plans

With rising healthcare costs and deductibles, these types of voluntary “supplemental” benefits provide financial help to an employee who may have an accident or go through an illness and/or require a hospital stay. Specifically these types of policies can help reduce the personal financial impact of fighting a disease, or recovering from an accident or sudden illness. For example, emergency treatment, hospital stays, medical exams, transportation and lodging needs are just a few of the expenses these types of policy may help an employee pay for. In fact, some policies can even pay benefits in as little as one day, based on time of claim submission.

Disability Insurance

National surveys have shown that Short Term Disability and Long Term Disability remain of high importance for most employees. Thus, savvy employers attract and retain top talent by offering both STD and LTD insurance as part of the employer paid benefit package. Additionally, an employer can offer Disability as a voluntary (worksite) benefit. Here’s how Disability plans typically work.

Short Term Disability
During the time an employee is unable to work due to a qualifying disability (illness or injury), STD generally allows for income payments to the employee to begin after about a two-week waiting period. Accordingly, the payments will continue to pay the employee until he/she recovers or maxes out the benefits. Thus, this time period is usually anywhere between one month to two years, depending on the policy.

Long Term Disability
During the time an employee is unable to work due to a qualifying disability (illness or injury), LTD generally allows for income payments to the employee to begin after about a 90-day waiting period. However, it could be much longer depending on the policy. The policy will pay the employee far longer than STD–for a few years, up to age 65, or even for life.

Long Term Care Insurance

Group Long-Term Care plans are becoming an increasingly common voluntary benefit offered by employers today. The prospect of long-term care is one of the most important issues your employees may have to face. The cost of long-term care is expensive and generally not covered by other employee benefits, disability or even Medicare.

If someone requires long-term care, it is not just an emotional strain but a financial one as well. An employees retirement savings and overall financial position could be affected.

Savvy employers know that access to additional resources can increase employee productivity when confronted with managing long-term care situations. Long-Term Care plans demonstrate to your current and prospective employees that your company cares about them. Thus, you also increase your ability to attract and retain the very best talent.

LTC plans provide benefits for care through nursing homes, assisted living centers, home health care and adult day care.

Employers can provide a base benefit while giving the employees the opportunity to buy up the policy. Thus, they can obtain the level of coverage that they need for their families.

Dental & Vision Insurance

Dental Plans
Regular dental exams help employees stay healthier and more productive in the work place. Simple routine visits to the dentist, which are usually covered 100% by insurers, help to detect serious underlying conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. The National Association of Dental Plans and the Centers for Disease Control have performed studies that show that employees with Dental Insurance plans have better attitudes and are less likely to suffer from depression, a common condition in today’s fast-paced world.

Dental Plans offer a variety of diagnostic, preventative care and corrective services including cleanings, exams, x-rays, fillings, root canals, orthodontia for children, and emergency care while traveling.

Vision Plans
Similar to dental policies, vision plans are inexpensive and save money on eye and vision related healthcare services. This includes routine exams, eyeglass frames and lenses, contacts, and even discounts on procedures like LASIK. Monitoring your eye health with regular exams also helps to prevent serious eye diseases like glaucoma and cataracts. An eye exam also helps to detect early stages of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.

Gap Insurance

Gap insurance provides benefits that supplement a major medical and comprehensive benefit package. It works by paying a significant amount of the deductible on a major medical plan. More specifically, the additional benefits help to cover out-of-pocket expenses related to coinsurance, co-pays and deductibles for inpatient and outpatient services. For example, if you have a $5,000 deductible on your major medical plan, gap coverage could pay up to $4,000 of that deductible.
