At an unprecedented pace, employers are turning to consumer-driven health plans (CDHPs) to control benefits costs. To many, the CDHP provides a much-needed breakthrough by addressing the employee’s desire for choice along with the employer’s need for savings.

MedBen remains on the cutting edge of the CDHP movement by offering a complete product line for both the self-funded and fully-insured employer. You can look to MedBen for:

Experience.  MedBen has administered CDHPs since 1999. We were among the first to administer a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA), beginning with the release of the IRS guidelines in June of 2004. Our dedicated CDHP division is overseen by a benefits specialist with more than 18 years in the business.  

MedBen professionals have taught professional seminars on CDHPs to employers and benefits consultants throughout the Midwest via our MedBen University employer seminars. These free half-day programs explore the numerous cost-saving advantages of CDHPs.

Personal Service. Our staff provides employer guidance on how best to set up your CDHP package, using decision support checklists. Our methods promote the usage of best practice as determined by the industry and our client experiences. 

Employee Education. Our CDHP staff can assist with employee education, conducting enrollment presentations and providing custom educational materials for your employees. When MedBen is involved, plan enrollment has increased as much as 50%.

Online Tools. MedBen prides itself on offering the latest in 24/7 online tools, which allow participants to track their account balances and account activity. This takes some of the pressure off your Human Resources Department by reducing employee inquiries.

A Variety of Options. MedBen offers a full line of CDHPs, including the administration of Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Reimbursement Arrangements. We also offer a fully insured high-deductible health plan (HDHP) in Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia and can administer almost any custom-designed, self-funded HDHP. For those who wish to complement their offering with a Health Savings Account, we have available turn-key services. 

A Wellness Connection. Employers are beginning to link their wellness initiatives to their CDHP efforts.  MedBen offers Worksite Wellness and can help coordinate programs that tie the two consumer-driven initiatives together.
