Did You Know? Working with a broker doesn't cost extra?

Are You A Small Company That Does Not Have An HR team? We can help!

If you're a business owner or administrator, you know that managing employee health insurance can take up a lot of your time. What you might not know is that working with a licensed health insurance broker doesn’t cost you anything extra.


Brokers are paid by the insurance carriers — as part of the plan’s administration costs — whether you use a broker or not. That means you have access to professional advice, plan comparisons, and personal support without any added fees.


Why not make the most of it?


  • Work with a broker who can handle enrollments, terminations, and plan questions
  • Get expert advice on plan design and benefit options
  • Build a relationship with a trusted local resource — not just a 1-800 number
  • Save valuable time for yourself or your administrator
  • Access a variety of plans from multiple carriers, not just one company


If you already have benefits in place but aren’t working with a broker, we’d love to connect. Reach out to us at Benefits by Design Insurance Services — we’re here to help!

HSAs are considered tax-advantaged for employees because contributions reduce their taxable income. This is true even if the money in the HSA account earns interest or investment returns over time. As long as the funds are used for qualified medical expenses, employees will not owe taxes when they withdraw money from their HSAs.

If you have only a few employees, you might think that you don't need to develop an employee handbook. But when you consider that the handbook works as both a communication and a compliance tool, it's easy to see that the size of your business is irrelevant.
