Comprehensive Benefits Strategy
We treat your benefits as a strategic part of your business that should align with your company’s needs and goals. We will meet with you and discuss the objectives and goals you would like to achieve with your benefits program for the current year and in the future. We take this information and design a program that is competitive in the market and that meets your business goals. Listed below are some of the services we provide that help us in designing a program that best meets the needs of your company.

Plan and Program Design
As the workforce continues to change and healthcare costs continue to increase, it is essential to review your plan designs, claims and costs each year. To ensure your organization has the plans that best meet its needs, we review utilization and claims figures for plan efficiency, project the economic effects of alternative options, provide benchmarking data, and prepare plan comparison reports. This allows you to make informed decisions and feel confident that your plans are meeting all of your goals.
Funding Analysis
Identifying the correct funding method can save companies thousands of dollars. To determine which funding alternatives (self-funded, partially funded or fully insured) best suit your needs, we review and evaluate funding and managed care alternatives, identify and evaluate risk based on prior plan experience, and review voluntary benefits and products.
Employee Contribution Strategies
Employee contributions have a significant impact on the bottom line and employee perceptions. We can help you evaluate and analyze this impact by assisting in setting overall strategy, preparing a thorough cost analysis and providing benchmarking data.
Ongoing Client Service
Our in-house insurance experts are on call to solve claim, billing and eligibility issues as well as a variety of other questions that may arise on a daily basis. Each member of our team has a current California insurance license and several years of experience in the insurance industry to ensure you receive the highest level of service and expertise.
Plan Compliance
We understand the vital importance of a compliant benefit plan. We work with each plan administrator to ensure accuracy of all new contracts and documents, and assist in preparing required documents and reports. We ensure your organizations plan is ERISA compliant and you are aware of new laws and regulations affecting employee benefits and human resources.
Q&A Sessions
Atlas can schedule Question and Answer sessions for your staff to explain a new benefit, review existing benefits, or simply answer questions that your employees might have about using the plan. This may be done in person or via webinars or by blog.
Total Compensation Statements
Often referred to as a “hidden paycheck,” total compensation statements itemize the full value of benefits and pay in an easy-to-read format. These statements are personalized for each employee and are a great tool to highlight the value of your company-sponsored benefits program. They are also a valuable opportunity to promote underutilized programs and encourage employee involvement.
Health Fairs
Atlas can assist in organizing and coordinating Health Fairs for your employees. Your employees can receive valuable information on their benefit plans from your company’s carriers, wellness and preventive information from community resources, and attend blood pressure, cholesterol and flu shot clinics all in a fun and educational atmosphere.
