Consistent Value
Benemax takes the worry and work out of benefit management by designing and administering customized programs that address each employer’s unique needs.
Regardless of the size, location or type of industry, all Benemax clients share three traits in common:

- They are value conscious and insist their benefit plans reflect that priority.
- They think outside-the-box and are willing to implement innovative solutions.
Challenged with rising health care costs, ever-changing regulations, and health care reform uncertainty, employers are finding it increasingly valuable to use specialists to help design and manage their complex employee benefit programs.
For more than 25 years Benemax has been a leading innovator in the employee benefits industry. Flexible solutions that deliver consistent value are the hallmark of every program that Benemax creates.

Benemax Advantage
As a Consumer Directed Healthcare pioneer, Benemax has been an innovation leader since 1985. Our intimate knowledge and extensive experience gives our clients a key advantage in three critical areas:
- Plan Design: Benemax custom designs every benefit solution to reflect and support the employers’ overall business objectives. We don’t just think benefits; we think strategy.
- HR Support: Having Benemax on your team is like having an off-budget HR assistant. Benemax relieves HR personnel of time consuming benefit administration tasks, enabling them to direct more energy toward other corporate projects.
- Member Service: A benefit plan is only as good as the service behind it. Benemax engages one-on-one with plan members to provide continuous education, advocacy and support.
We evaluate all aspects of our client’s business and work very closely with leadership through the process of analysis, design, brokerage, program management and member service.
The result is a customized benefit package that maximizes the total value of your limited benefit dollars.

Our Solution
Cut benefits, raise cost or both? Those are the choices that face most employers every year. But not with Benemax! Our clients are able to provide highly competitive benefits that are economically sustainable long term.
The innovative Benemax Wrap® enables us to tailor benefits to each client. Beginning with a high value, high deductible health plan, Benemax wraps an additional layer of benefits around that deductible to meet the employee’s overall benefit needs…at considerable cost savings to the employer.
All clients are assigned an Independent Member Advocate who ensures that each member's needs are satisfied completely and in a timely manner. Our IMA team works for Benemax (and you!), not for an insurance company – your members’ interests are our only priority.
Comprehensive online support is provided through our Virtual Benefit Manager®. Members can manage their benefits and access important plan information 24/7.
