Whether you’re currently a Benelogic client or not, we can make meeting the Affordable Care Act federal reporting requirements a snap. Contact Benelogic today to find out how.   There is no arguing that the last few years have been like a daytime soap opera for the Affordable Care Act. Extended filing deadlines, uncertain penalties, late finalization of file requirements - add to that the challenges of a global pandemic and you may find that you are less than prepared for t

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

Throughout 2019, Benelogic’s IT department transitioned all employees to Microsoft 365 which included our now de facto communication tool: Microsoft Teams. While our organization was very “instant message” centric for the previous decade, most of these communications were one-to-one. Even though we had the capability to use other communications (multi-person chats and audio/video conferencing), we rarely found ourselves doing so. We were in the office and these types of meet

In a world of increased remote work, and subsequent password fatigue, a Single Sign-On authentication mechanism can be a real boon for your employees’ remote productivity. Single Sign-On or (SSO) is technology that allows a user to log in once with a single ID and password and then have access to several related, yet independent, software systems. Allowing your employees to sign on once to have access to their email, calendar, team collaboration hub, and yes–even their

Whether you’re currently a Benelogic client or not, we can make meeting the Affordable Care Act federal reporting requirements a breeze.

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.

If you’re starting to look towards plan renewal and open enrollment prep and have that familiar panicked feeling – take a deep breath.

Benelogic’s enrollment portal is customized for your company, so that your employees have the specific information they need during each step of their enrollment process. That leads to better elections and happier employees. When you're making a decision, it’s always better to have the right information at the right time. There are too many enrollment systems that overwhelm employees with information, assuming that they understand more than they do. Enrolling in benefits is

Outsourcing COBRA is a simple way to allow your company to do more with fewer employees in these unprecedented times. Administering COBRA is a function many companies choose to do in-house. It’s a time-consuming task and must be done in accordance with government regulations, which include strict timelines for sending and tracking qualified beneficiary notifications. As more and more of your employees may be becoming eligible for COBRA due to the impact COVID-19, you may fi

Let us help ensure that you have a smooth open enrollment with our easy to implement 7-step plan. (UPDATED 4-30-2020) These are brave new times for us all.

Welcome to the new norm. After just day one of home schooling, I declared the next day a Professional Development day and gave my two boys a day off.  To be completely honest I was not prepared for my new job as an educator. I was totally overwhelmed and needed to regroup to come to grips with our new norm. I spent a few hours that night scouring the internet for educational resources to help me out.  Fortunately, I found tons of free materials in all subjects for all grad

The best way to support your remote employees during this unprecedented health crisis is to give them easy access to information about their healthcare plans. Things are changing daily. Many insurance companies are modifying their policies to eliminate co-pays and co-insurance for certain visits and treatments, increasing access to telemedicine for virtual care, and even waiving medication limits. This information is important and is different than what is documented in the

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
