Employee Benefits Consulting

During my time as a corporate auditor representing the IRS, I saw many wellness plans that came under scrutiny because there were gaps between the design of the plan and the interpretation of the IRS rules. The CHAMP plan closed those gaps. If I were still in practice with the IRS, there would be no potential exposure as they designed their plan within the letter of the law. 

As a fast food chain we always had an issue offering benefits to our employees and the CHAMP plan has been the perfect fit to accomplish that. Not only does it increase their pay but it provides minimum essential coverage and useful benefits they can use as standalone and with their current plan. The rollout was seamless to all our employees and despite the initial complexities of the plan, the employee experience has been very easy for them to understand. I can honestly say our only regret was not doing it sooner as the tax benefits have been real and tremendous. Our employees have been happy with their benefit plans and the competitive rates. We were pleasantly surprised to see the renewal rates come in lower than we anticipated. That shows the effectiveness of the CHAMP plan reducing the claims that hit our major medical. The CHAMP team has been great to work with and we appreciate their level of detail and expertise to help us manage our claims internally which has kept our rates down.
