Bright Choices are Paying Off in 2010

Many Partnership members have already realized that the Bright Choices™ program is the best option to buy health insurance and other benefits. Bright Choices makes it easier than ever to select the mix of benefits that’s exactly right for you and your employees. In 2010, the program has been enhanced with more options to control benefits costs and give participants greater value for the benefits they want. 
 
Check out this informative brochure, which gives an overview of the expanded program for 2010.


The Partnership has partnered with John Hancock Life Insurance Company to offer long-term care (LTC) insurance to all eligible members. LTC insurance can help protect your assets and your family from the high cost of long-term care services. John Hancock is a leader in the LTC insurance market and has over 145 years experience providing a range of insurance products. To learn more about this exciting benefit, click here or contact Louis Rivera at 716-635-6867 or Eric L. Mihelbergel at 716-635-6845.

You should consider long term care insurance if you want to:
  -  Feel confident about your hard-earned investments and help protect your retirment savings and assets
  -  Be proactive and responsible for reducing the burden of care that often falls on family members
  -  Take control of your long-term care decisions and maintain the independence to choose where you receive care

Health Care Reform Webinar

There are many pieces of the new Health Insurance law, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. And now that some of the dust has begun to settle on the debate, our benefits partner Liazon recruited noted ERISA attorney for Hewitt Associates Allen T. Steinberg to complete a full analysis of the new legislation. Mr. Steinberg is advising his clients to be patient. He discusses what employers need to do to comply and what you may want to do in response to the legislation. He will help you focus on the key aspects of the law and achieve some perspective before you act.

View the recorded Webinar here.

 
In addition to the great line-up of existing benefits options, including diverse choices for Medical, Dental and Vision insurance, along with Long-Term Care, Life, Disability, and other Supplemental insurance policies, here’s a look at what’s new this year:
 
·      More and improved medical plan choices – choose from among 8 plans
·      Extremely competitive rates with a wide range of price points
·      New products, including health discount, wellness, and pet insurance programs
·      Enhanced Bright Choices technology to make the online benefits experience even better
·      Monthly billing options
 
The Partnership’s leadership in reinventing health insurance and benefits has made it the best place to buy benefits in the Buffalo Niagara region.
