If we had a dime for every time we were asked this… It’s the most common question we get during sales inquiries or on RFPs. Obviously, it’s an important question but it’s not quite the right question. Anyone in our industry needs to be able to work with other systems. That is core to what we do. Benelogic may look like a front-end enrollment system for a few weeks of the year, but the rest of time we are focused on data maintenance and data transactions. HIPAA standards

In today's fast-paced digital world, companies and organizations are constantly seeking efficient and convenient solutions for their employees. One such solution is the implementation of an online benefits administration system. Let’s look at 9 major advantages and how it can benefit both the employer and the employee. 1. Increased Efficiency: An online benefit administration system streamlines the enrollment process for both the employer and the employee. The time spent

By now we are all too familiar with the Great Resignation and the shift to remote work triggered by the pandemic. What many people failed to recognize was the disproportionate burden this placed on HR professionals. Not only did they have to process terminations and recruit for empty positions, they also had to rethink every traditional HR function to ensure that processes and policies were suited to a drastically different working reality. Is it any surprise that we wound up

The Great Resignation of 2021 saw more than 38 million workers quit their jobs. The piece that goes largely unnoticed is that some of this occurred in HR. And guess who has to process the resignations, manage salaries, hear employee feedback, recruit, hire, onboard, train, bolster moral, negotiate benefits, and manage enrollment? If you guessed HR, you’re right! In 2020 and 2021 we watched a lot of formerly stable HR departments manage crazy workloads, enforce new federal man

It’s obviously not uncommon to start a new year with fresh resolutions. If we call them goals, intentions or whatever....

This is a very busy time of year for all of us. It may not solely be due to benefit open enrollment. It’s also the ramp up for the craziness of the holiday season. Often times we will find ourselves over-committed this time of year. This can leave us tired, worn-down, and wrung out. It is very hard to be helpful to other people when we find ourselves in this condition. So, it is imperative that we take care of ourselves as a priority so that we can meet our commitments. You’

It might strike you as an odd angle for a marketing blog article but an important part of knowing who a good fit for our software and services is knowing who ISN’T. Over the years we have honed our listening and evaluation skills to become equally adept at identifying who won’t benefit from our solution and who will. No System of Record If your organization does not have a system of record, this does not automatically rule you out. But if you do not have a desire for a system

As an online benefit administration vendor, we respond to thousands of inquiries about products and services. These requests come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from social media DMs to lengthy requests for proposal. The goal is always the same – determining if Benelogic’s products and or services meet the needs of their company. Not all evaluation methods are equal. Before you can solve a problem, it is critical to clearly define the problem. A surprising number of comp

At Benelogic, we pride ourselves on being creative problem solvers. It brings us joy to streamline processes, refine procedures, and implement time-savings efficiencies. On its surface this doesn’t sound too bad, right? There IS a downside to our problem-solving passion. What happens when you start solving problems no one has asked you to solve? Heck, they don’t even WANT the problem solved. What then? To a person with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. The first issue i

We were asked the other day why our enrollment system only allows for binary gender choice in a world that is increasingly non-binary. It is a simple explanation but one that we think is worth sharing. As an online enrollment system, Benelogic (and anyone else in this role) sits between client systems (payroll or human resource information systems) and carrier systems where eligibility and claims are processed. We intake data from the client and we output it to carriers in

Maybe It is not the most flattering comparison we could use, but Baltimore is a working harbor, so we get to watch the nimble and powerful tugboats help large ocean liners navigate the shallow and treacherous waters and it got us thinking… Benelogic prides itself on flexibility and adaptability. Do we see our size as a detriment or deterrent? Not at all. Larger systems are harder to modify. That is a simple statement of fact. The more instances, the more users, the more excep

Now more than ever businesses must go digital and Benelogic is here to help. Six months ago, when Benelogic made 100% of our employees remote, we wanted to minimize how often any employee needed to physically go to our office. Being remote didn’t get rid of our need to manage correspondence, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and other mail heavy processes. In the office, we took the post office’s timely deliveries and the physical mail for granted. As we anticipated rema

Benelogic promises FIRST class service with a dedicated team and a customized platform. We will meet your needs and exceed your expectations. Open enrollment can be a time intensive process. Add to that the challenge of managing the entire process remotely and having the right support team becomes even more critical. Benelogic’s open enrollment and benefits management products were built from the ground up to be managed and used remotely. We are the pioneers of online enrol

Did you know that Benelogic performs regular proactive internal client site reviews? That’s right! We review your portal multiple times a year looking for opportunities to improve what already works and ensure your enrollment processes are as easy and efficient as possible.

When it comes to benefit options and administration, your employees rely on YOU to make all the right choices – including making enrollment quick and easy. No one wants benefit enrollment to be a headache. However, there are parts of your current enrollment system that can work better or be customized to save you time and make life easier for you AND your employees. If you can fix those, you will certainly look like a hero. There are lots of reasons you may want to make a

The last thing people need to worry about in the face of a global health crisis like novel coronavirus (COVID-19), is whether they are enrolled in their company healthcare benefits or not. That is the vital role benefits administrators play – connecting employees with benefits. While companies around the globe are struggling to prepare and deal with the impact of this outbreak, Benelogic’s continuity plan is already in place. Benelogic has always taken steps to ensure our

Health wellness trends have been around for a while, but have you heard of death wellness? As we get our footing on living well, we now are starting to look at the other end of the spectrum – how do you “die well”? At the risk of seeming morbid, this subject is fascinating. A cottage industry is emerging aimed at helping people reimage the death experience, providing additional ways for people to die with dignity, and creating more options for eternal rest. From human com

In light of recent concerns about fraudulent healthcare, we wanted to take a moment to recognize the employers and brokers we work with. Though this hit individual consumers in Florida, having coverage through your employer plan ensures that you have credible coverage. There are many people working behind the scenes of your employer health plan to ensure you get the best outcome and the most for your money. In this season of gratitude, take a minute to thank your company,

As an online benefit administration vendor, we respond to thousands of inquires about products and services. These requests come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from a single question to a lengthy Request for Proposal (RFP). Regardless of the method used, the goal is the same – to determine if a vendor’s product and services meet the needs of a company prior to making a commitment to purchase. But not all methods are equal. Before embarking on a journey to solve a pro

For the past six weeks, nearly half the staff at Benelogic transformed their quality of life by modifying their diets and improving their fitness abilities. As participants in the Maryland Athletic Club’s (MAC) Corporate Fit Challenge, they were provided support, structure and motivation, not only by MAC fitness and nutritional professionals, but by one another. The hard work and dedication paid off with impressive results. These include a combined 106 pound weight loss 66 in
