Benefits Solutions For Groups

As the cost of health care continues to rise, many companies have been hard-pressed to maintain the level of coverage that their employees have become accustomed to. In response to this trend, CBIS has become an industry leader by going beyond “standard” solutions to develop Creative Benefit & Insurance Solutions and next-generation plan designs to help clients stabilize their health coverage costs while maintaining, or even improving, benefits. In our downtown Utica office, CBIS provides employee benefits services that offer customized plans based on your specific business model and your company's financial goals.  Our dedicated agents will partner with your company to create long-term employee beneftis solutions.

Adding Value To Your Company By Providing Boutique Service

At CBIS we analyze the entire spectrum of group health insurance products, including PPOs, EPOs, POSs, HDHPs, HMOs, alternative funding, carve-out programs and self-insured arrangements.  We will work with your company to design and implement a benefits plan that is right for your organization, employees and budget. In the self-insured and experience-rated market, our expertise in educating employees on smart health care behaviors through analytical and intelligent plan design will help promote cost-effective utilization. For smaller community-rated plans, we aim to provide you with maximum plan design flexibility, options and customized contribution levels so that you can best meet the needs for your employee benefits at your organization.

We thoroughly assess our clients’ business characteristics and employee needs to develop customized benefit packages. At CBIS we have a dedicated team specializing in health benefits with many years of experience servicing both fully insured and self-funded programs. Through our strong relationships with providers and carriers, we are able to optimize client resources in developing cost-efficient solutions.  Benefits include:
