Recently, we worked with a Georgia employer to implement Ansel as a simpler alternative to traditional voluntary plans so that employees could get coverage for more conditions and an easier way to access their supplemental benefits.
The Challenge
A Georgia-based government agency offered employees the option to buy multiple supplemental plans but participation and utilization of these traditional offerings was low. Additionally, with limited resources within the company to oversee the program, the employer was looking for a benefit that was easier to implement and administer.
The Solution: A Ansel Plan Partially Funded by Employer
The broker, as an early adopter of Ansel, felt that Ansel’s wide ranging coverage, dedicated member support model, and simplified claims process could serve as an optimal alternative for employees who were looking for more value out of their supplemental health options. He also knew that Ansel would make the employer's administration easy with just one plan to implement and manage.
By considering Ansel an extension of the overall health benefits strategy, he recommended the employer offer Ansel with an employer contribution. Not only did this make Ansel coverage even more affordable for employees, it sent a clear signal from the employer that Ansel was an important part of the benefits offering.
In close collaboration with the employer and broker, a detailed enrollment plan was executed— providing education about the broad range of Ansel coverage and simplicity of its claims process. The end result was 40% participation and feedback from the employer that "Ansel is the easiest plan we have to work through."
Keys to the Win
“Ansel is about simplicity— easy for employers to implement, easy for employees to use. That’s why Ansel now has a place in this group's benefits offering.” —Rance Fears, Regional Sales Director, Ansel
Wide-ranging coverage that is meant to be used
Injuries and illnesses come in all shapes and sizes. Ansel is a plan that is built to be used. With over 13,000+ covered conditions, employees have more reasons to file a claim, whether it’s for a cut with stitches or cancer.
Plan administration that makes offering a supplemental benefit easy for employers
With Ansel, there’s only one plan to manage for HR and benefits teams. Plus, employers enjoy 100% paperless implementation with support every step of the way, so they can make a supplemental benefit available to their group as quickly and simply as possible.
A simplified claims process
When claims are easy to file, employees use their coverage. Ansel’s simplified plan design and 100% paperless claims process allows employees to file claims in minutes and get paid quickly. Once approved, benefits are typically paid within 72 hours to a member’s PayPal, Venmo, or bank account—helping to minimize the financial strain of an unexpected medical issue.
