When employees do have questions, they can call a 1-800 number for customer service where they may be put on hold, sometimes transferred to another department.
The phrase “data gathering” and the nature of the questions may worry some employees. The right adviser, however, will work with a team of people who empathize with workers' concerns.
Many businesses neglect not only the importance of primary care benefits, but also the creative solutions that can give their workers a better experience while saving the company money.
Making the most out of your plan's cost-cutting potential requires a bit of creative thinking and strategizing with your adviser, but the results are worth it.
Implementing telehealth services into plan benefits can not only give employees a more convenient health care option, but also provide a boost for your client's business.
