Health benefits consultant finds a solution for rising insurance costs
NORTH CONWAY, N.H., Dec. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- While many health insurance agencies are delivering sour news to employers about rate increases or the prospect of cutting benefits, ClaimLinx is delivering low rates for quality health plans to all of its clients.
Premiums for employer-sponsored health plans for 2019 increased by an average of five percent nationally reaching a staggering average rate of $19,616 for a family plan, according to the 2018 Kaiser Family Foundation Employer Health Benefits Survey.
However, ClaimLinx insurance agents were able to keep its clients’ rate increases below the national average using its unique strategy for purchasing benefits. What’s more is employers using ClaimLinx’s methods pay substantially less overall because they save 20 percent or more within the first year of implementation.
National Benefit Consultant, Tom Quigley, said his team of insurance agents and consultants is willing to do anything to keep plan costs low.
“It’s all about the numbers, but you have to be creative or you’re going to end up paying more,” he said.
For this reason, partnering with ClaimLinx can be a substantial step to taking back control of a company’s benefits, especially important for small businesses where margins are thin and rate increases can be crippling.
Over the past 10 years, premiums have increased twice as fast as wages so that while insurance costs on average 55 percent more, workers earn only 26 percent more to pay for it. When both employer and employee are being squeezed, savings become significant for both.
ClaimLinx specializes in guiding business owners through the insurance market as a full-service consultant, insurance agency and third-party administrator to help them purchase the best, most affordable health plan.
Their solution combines traditional high deductible insurance plans with a customized self-funded medical expense reimbursement plan. The resulting plan enables employers to offer top-notch benefits at a much lower cost.
The company’s founders pioneered the solution more than 10 years ago, when they first saw rates climbing. President and Owner, Christy Quigley, said since then they have been refining their strategy for delivering quality benefits at a low price.
“We really just want to help people save money on their health insurance,” she said. “It’s as simple as that.”
