Why a Simple Supplemental Benefit Brought this Team Peace of Mind

The Challenge

A Georgia-based industrial services employer offered traditional health insurance, but did not have any voluntary benefits in place for their group. After conducting a feedback survey, it became evident that employees felt they were lacking a benefit that adequately shielded them from unforeseen health events. As a result, the employer was looking for an additional benefit that would address employee concerns while not overloading their HR teams with another administrative burden.

The Solution: A Ansel Plan With Employer Funding

The broker was attracted to Ansel because it was a simplified solution with wide ranging coverage that could help fill in the gaps for employees who couldn’t afford the out of pocket costs associated with common conditions. He was certain that Ansel’s dedicated support model and educational resources would make filing claims easy for employees. Plus, he felt Ansel’s easy plan administration would minimize any administrative hassles for the employer. 

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. Spanish language support was also offered for employees that needed it along the way. As a result, the group saw over 50% employee participation.  

Within the first month, employees have already filed claims that were approved in a matter of hours. In a feedback survey, the employer said that after seeing Ansel in action, he truly understood its value.

Keys to the Win

“A Ansel, we strive to fill in the gaps so that employees can get the most out of their coverage and can gain peace of mind. We provide the tools they need to understand their Ansel coverage and the support employers expect to lessen their administrative legwork.” — Kevin Dubay, Customer Success Manager, Ansel
