The All-In-One for the Complete Benefits Lifecycle
From Candidate to COBRA, all in one place
The Benefits Lifecycle
Candidates ask for details on the benefits package, so HR asks you to make benefit booklets. New hires are supposed to receive benefitsrelated documents at point of hire for compliance reasons, so HR asks you for help there. You obviously support active employees electing benefits. But then you also support distribution of Medicare Part D, CHIP Notices and more outside of open enrollment. And then you have to help with 1095-Cs, 1095-Bs, and building out and supporting the COBRA system.
Before BerniePortal, supporting your clients across all of these functions – the complete Benefits Lifecycle – required building out each client’s benefits package three times for three different audiences and having separate systems and processes for the compliance stuff.
Now, with BerniePortal’s Benefits Lifecycle Edition, every step of the Benefits Lifecycle can be supported by a broker in one single system.
Recruiting
-
Show candidates their benefits
35% of job candidates ask potential employers for details about their benefits package. With BerniePortal, candidates can see the employer’s complete benefits package, similar to how an active employee does.
This presents the benefits in a much more modern and streamlined way than the legacy method of building a “benefits booklet” to give candidates – nevermind the risks and time wasted that comes from building booklets.
Onboarding
-
Ensure Compliance with Required Benefit Documents at Point of Hire
Under the ACA, marketplace notifications must be provided to new hires. BerniePortal’s Onboarding feature makes it easy for your clients to stay compliant by automating the distribution of these essential documents.
Benefits
-
Help Clients Offer Broader Benefit Packages
Of course, BerniePortal’s Starter Edition includes our native Benefits feature, making it easy for employees to make elections. This means it is also easier for you to help your clients offer broader benefits packages to their employees – leveling the playing field in the war for talent against larger employers that already offer broad benefits packages. Brokers find their clients are more open to offering broader benefit packages with more lines of coverage with BerniePortal in place. And our Carrier Exchange takes care of communicating eligibility to the carriers.
Compliance
-
Medicare Part D
Easily distribute Medicare Part D notices to Medicare-eligible employees, even when deadlines don’t align with open enrollment.
-
CHIP and WHCRA
Using BerniePortal, you can follow best practices by distributing CHIP and WHCRA notices simultaneously.
-
Section 125 Wrap Documents
Section 125 Wrap Documents can be both created and distributed in our Compliance feature.
1095-B / 1095-C Reporting
