CHICAGO, HR Technology Conference and FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Workscape, Inc., a proven provider of Human Resource solutions, unveiled today the latest release of OneForce(TM)/Benefits, a fully outsourced Web-based solution that automates health and welfare benefits administration. Powered by Workscape’s OneForce technology platform, OneForce/Benefits now includes two new applications - OneForce/PlanExchange, that adds vendor management services, and OneForce/Compliance, that adds automated COBRA, HIPAA, and FSA compliance administration. Additionally, Workscape’s OneForce/Enrollment and OneForce/LifeEvents applications have been further enhanced with the addition of a human resource knowledgebase designed to help employees make better benefit plan decisions.
“These additions have expanded Workscape’s benefits offering into a fully outsourced solution for health and welfare benefits administration. Our intense research and development into benefits administration exemplifies our ongoing commitment to product innovation and responsiveness to what our clients are telling us they need,” said Tim Clifford, president and CEO of Workscape. “As a result, Workscape’s clients have gained the advantage of a highly reliable HR service delivery model that relieves them from the entire benefits administration process, leveraging state-of-the-art, Web-based technologies through a single vendor relationship.”
OneForce/PlanExchange’s vendor management services include vendor data integration, enrollment reconciliation and premium calculations, premium and billing administration and disbursement, customer service, and vendor service level agreement (SLA) management and reporting. Automating these procedures removes the administrative burden from the HR organization as they deal with dozens of plan vendors. Another benefit of automating vendor management tasks is improved data accuracy, which lowers plan expenditures as payments for non- eligible employees are eliminated. Automating vendor SLA management helps HR organizations more closely track vendor performance and provides leverage for future rate negotiations.
OneForce/Compliance is a comprehensive and highly automated COBRA and HIPAA compliance service designed to alleviate laborious paperwork, mitigate client liability, and ensure rapid transfer of COBRA premiums to the applicable health plan. OneForce/Compliance also includes web-based functionality for FSA plan sponsors, vendors, and participants. This allows clients to outsource the time-consuming and costly aspects of FSA administration, such as filing proper forms and reports.
The human resource knowledgebase features added to OneForce/Enrollment and OneForce/LifeEvents provide in-context information to employees making important benefits decisions. Integrating the online system with the knowledgebase and Workscape’s CallConnect HR service center provides employees with a wealth of information on their benefits choices. OneForce/Enrollment also features a new medical cost calculator. The calculator enables employees to estimate their health care needs in the coming year while comparing total costs, such as premium contributions and out-of-pocket payments, for different plan options, including consumer driven health plans (CDHPs). It also helps the employee determine how much to contribute to their FSA account.
OneForce/PlanExchange, OneForce/Compliance and the knowledgebase enhancement to OneForce/Enrollment and OneForce/LifeEvents are immediately available from Workscape. For more information, please contact Susan Straka at 508-861-5500 or info@workscape.com.
