benefitsCONNECT® Employee Shopping Experience Is Enhanced With Beazley Gap Product

Rancho Cordova, CA, February 25, 2016 (Newswire.com) - benefitsCONNECT has joined forces with Beazley, a specialist insurance provider, to increase the offerings on their online enrollment and eligibility platform for health insurance brokers.  Beazley US Accident and Health’s Gap Medical product is now available on the benefitsCONNECT platform, making it readily available to brokers as a pre-loaded product selection. Electronic data feeds and enrollment capabilities will be more easily established, simplifying the implementation process for customers through this partnership.

“We are delighted to add Beazley to our growing list of carrier partners, bringing a strong Gap Medical product to our platform,” stated Troy Underwood, CEO of benefitsCONNECT.

The Beazley Gap Medical product will allow employees to have an affordable alternative to help supplement their costs. Scott Evans, Chief Operating Officer of benefitsCONNECT, believes a product like this is relevant in today’s healthcare marketplace with relation to benefitsCONNECT. “A product like this allows our system to offer a solution designed for consumerism of health plans - a platform to deliver a product that benefits our clients and broker partners while providing a smooth, concise enrollment experience for employees.”

Paul Gulstrand, head of Beazley’s U.S. Accident & Health team, agreed, “We are excited to partner with a technology leader with an excellent reputation that can help ensure a smooth and seamless enrollment experience for our brokers and their customers.”

Dan McNeill, Beazley Business Development, echoed the value of the opportunity in the marketplace. “As employers migrate to high-deductible plans, Beazley’s Gap Medical provides a solution to help employees manage out-of-pocket expenses. With Gap on the benefitsCONNECT platform, brokers can seamlessly enroll and implement Gap – right alongside their Major Medical plan.”

Last summer, benefitsCONNECT hosted a product innovation series to present the value of viable products on a consumer-centric platform. Explore New Roads featured educational webinars hosted by a variety of leading solution experts, and Beazley’s participation was extremely well-received.
Brokers had a front row seat to the trend toward Gap Medical, advantages of the product and the power of technology integration.
