Helping Your Organization With the Complexities of Employee Benefit Plans

Do you feel overwhelmed with complex employee benefit regulations, consultant/broker sales presentations, and insurance carrier contracts? Do you ever wonder if your salesperson is working in your best interest or their own?  It can be difficult to remember everything that is necessary for proper employee benefit compliance, especially as healthcare reform continues to roll out. EB Compliance Strategies is here to help you create a useful compliance strategy for your business so that you are meeting every requirement required by ERISA, COBRA, HIPAA, IRS, and ACA. With the help of our ERISA compliance services, you are able to survive DOL or IRS audits, or avoid them entirely. EB Compliance Strategies offers comprehensive ERISA compliance, employee benefit consulting and vendor management services.

WHY EB COMPLIANCE STRATEGIES?

EB Compliance Strategies is different and better than other providers of employee benefit and ERISA compliance services. Most employers receive ERISA compliance services from their insurance broker. Insurance brokers offer compliance checklists and sample participant notifications. Some larger brokers even offer legal support from their clients. ERISA attorneys are great resource for most employers, except their fees can be substantial.

EB Compliance Strategies offers a better option. We have a deep analytical consulting approach that goes way beyond the typical broker checklist. Our analysis and recommendations will be reviewed with you and your benefits team. Finally, we will work with your current ERISA attorney to review and finalize our recommendations. The benefits of this approach is that EB Compliance Strategies will save you a lot of money by do most of the work of gathering, analyzing, and making recommendation for your compliance program instead of paying an ERISA attorney. ERISA attorney’s can charge anywhere between $300 to $550 an hour to do the same type of work. We still want your ERISA attorney to provide input to the recommendations, finalize the document work, and to provide client-attorney protections.

Unlike an insurance firm, EB Compliance Strategies specializes in compliance and vendor management. Secondly, our analytical review and recommendation are very extensive versus a recommendation. Also, most brokerage firms offer a disclaimer that states all of their recommendations are not meant to be legal advice and they will not take responsible for errant recommendations.

Prompted by the recent changes in the complexity of employee benefit regulations, our employee benefit consulting firm was started to devote our resources to assisting employers with ERISA welfare benefit plans as well as COBRA, HIPAA, and wellness plan compliance. It is our goal to provide you with the detailed information and assistance you need to make smart decisions when it comes to getting your business completely compliant with today’s regulations.

What sort of compliance services can you expect from our consulting firm? Our team proudly offers Department of Labor (DOL) audit preparation assessments, healthcare reform consulting and reporting, nondiscrimination testing, vendor contract and HIPAA BA audits, plan document and SPD assessments, and participant notification services. You can save yourself a lot of headaches, hassle, and fines by choosing to work with our compliance strategy specialists.
