Hi,

Has anyone had any experience with Ben-E-Lect? One of our clients has asked about their program and we have not had any experience with it.

Thanks!
 
They are the main reason most small group carriers in California now expressly prohibit HRA/Wrap Funding with anything but their EPO plans (and who wants an EPO plan?).

If you go to their site and run the "sample" plan, it is the Anthem BC EPO plan which is the only plan they are allowed to sell with Anthem (and has a very restrictive network with no out of network benefits).

Check and make sure that your E&O Carrier will cover Ben-E-Lect plans. Many do not cover them.

How it works is simply:

*Employer buys an off the shelf HDHP (HSA or Non-HSA or both)
*Employer determines levels of direct reimbusement they want from Ben-E-Lect
*Ben-E-Lect provides repricing after EOB and pays the direct reimbursement to provider
*EE is responsible for anything not paid by carrier and Ben-E-Lect
