In the ever-evolving landscape of employee benefits, the quest for a superior experience is a shared goal among employees, employers and brokers alike. Enter PlanSource and our Boost program, your partner in delivering the best benefits experience possible. Including affiliations with 17 of the leading U.S. insurance carriers and a commitment to innovative technology, we’re reshaping the future of benefits by offering a modern, familiar experience for the everyday buyer.

At the core of PlanSource’s mission is the transformation of the employee benefits landscape. We’ve collaborated closely with our insurance carrier partners to pioneer the four pillars of the Boost program value proposition:

1. Optimized Employee Shopping Experience:

a. Engagement-Driven: We understand that an engaging shopping experience is key to benefits adoption. Boost ensures employees have the right content and tools at their fingertips, making the process more intuitive and appealing. On average it increases benefits participation by 5%.

2. Modern API and SSO Integrations:

a. Real-Time Convenience: Our groundbreaking integrations with leading insurance carriers set us apart from the competition. The integration capabilities we offer are not only innovative but also unmatched.

i. Enrollment API – Real-time sync of enrollment data from PlanSource to the participating Boost insurance carriers. This results in a significant reduction in enrollment errors saving HR time and eliminating frustration.

ii. EOI SSO and EOI decision notification API – Evidence of insurability questions answered right within the shopping experience and return of decision information. Employees are more apt to complete the EOI process when it is completely digital within the shopping experience versus paper. This results in an HR effort reduction of 15 – 30 minutes per EOI decision request.

iii. Plan Configuration API – Automated import of plan details from the insurance carrier. This results in an HR effort reduction of 30 minutes saved per plan.

iv. Member Portal SSO – Single sign-on access to insurance carrier member portal for insurance details, claims filing, status and more. This increases engagement and plan utilization by saving the employee from having to remember yet another password, granting them quick access to the information they need.

v. Find A Provider API – Search for in-network providers right within the benefits shopping experience. Saves the employee from having to call the provider separately, increases engagement and plan utilization.

3. Simplified Self-Billing:

a. Efficiency for HR: Boost empowers HR professionals with a simplified billing feature. Say goodbye to manual reconciliation, and hello to an automatic payment process that saves precious time and reduces administrative burdens. This results in saving HR 1+ weeks’ worth of work each month!

4. Preferred Pricing:

a. Savings for Customers: When customers choose one or more qualified Boost product lines from a participating insurance carrier, they receive preferred pricing. This commitment to affordability enhances the value of our offerings, making a modern and intuitive benefits shopping experience accessible to all.
