Benefit Express Delivers Dependent Audits as Part of Annual Enrollment Processing - Saving Clients Time and Money

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., Jan. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Benefit Express, a Benefit Administration Outsourcing service provider, released a process enhancement to the My Benefit Express™ solution. In these difficult economic times, Benefit Express is providing the built-in ability to avoid payments of healthcare claims for ineligible dependents. As part of the dependent audit process, Benefit Express:

• Educates HR representatives and employees on the definition and application of an "eligible dependent"
• Provides a method to validate and update the carriers with eligible dependents
• Removes ineligible dependents from coverage
• Leverages benchmarking industry practices
• Decreases overall healthcare costs

Incorporating the audit as part of annual enrollment makes the process seamless for employees and allows HR staff to take care of two birds with one stone. This allows HR staff to dedicate their time to core business tasks while reducing overall healthcare costs of those incorrectly covered.

Through this enhancement, employees can validate the eligibility status of all dependents annually during enrollment.  In this way, Benefit Express combines the two processes into one, thereby saving both time and money. As a comprehensive offering, Benefit Express connects with each employee through My Benefit Express ™, the company's innovative online tool. As a result, Benefit Express' clients have seen a reduction in premiums of over 8% based upon erroneous dependents. This solution maximizes company dollars spent on health care coverage, like no other HR benefits administration provider in the industry!
