Work closely with privately held companies, and non profits organizations to meet budget concerns each year with comprehensive employee benefit packages. Ensure compliance with the Affordable Care Act, for each client regardless of company size. Use creative benefit designs and "out of the box" ideas to help decrease the impact of the ACA, saving my clients time and money.I use my experience in the health insurance industry from three different perspectives, broker, carrier consultant, and wholesaler to better serve my clients. I use these perspectives to offer my clients new creative ideas to better their program and save money. One way is with product offering. Community Benefits has exclusive products through our carrier partners because of our agency size and experience. We offer exclusive associations, consortiums, PEO, MEWA, and Captive programs through carriers as UHC, Anthem, Aetna, MMO just to name a few. Products are only one side of the story. We have other solutions to solve ACA compliance, and HR functions for our large and mid market clients. We work hard everyday to propel our agency to the next level, and it shows.
