For Employers

With over 60+ years of combined Employee Benefits expertise, The VIS Team provides extensive consultative services to help you build a completely customized benefits package.

 We review your current benefits package in detail, and look for for ways to shift spending away from premium expenses with the goal of enriching the benefits or reducing overall spending, depending on the needs of your employees and your business. We also examine supplemental options that help to reduce healthcare spending, increase access to care, and deepen financial protections.

We specialize in devising unique employee benefits strategies, combining traditional benefits with non-traditional supplemental options and tax-savings vehicles to build truly comprehensive coverage— without breaking the bank.

We have identified specific complementary combinations of Employee Benefits that we know work together to provide comprehensive coverage and protection, both medically and financially. To reduce overall cost to the Employer and the covered Member, we strategically shift spending away from high medical premiums, usually in combination with a tax-advantage solution that stretches your dollars further. We incorporate additional layers of protection including extra financial coverage in the event of a hospitalization and virtual primary care options that increase access to consistent, quality care.

The Total Protection Benefit Package (TPBP) strategy enables our clients to stretch their benefits budgets further by offering a more comprehensive benefit package. TPBP Group Association Benefits include Core services that are the foundation of any strong Employee Benefits package, and Enhanced services that are true value-adds for your company and your employees.

Whether you are a small business with limited resources or a large company with a dedicated HR team, strategically using technology to streamline administration of your benefits package is a smart move. Here at VIS, we believe using technology to support a person-first service approach is the way to go. Here are some of the tools & resources we can offer:

Our CRT is available to you throughout your relationship with VIS. From initial consultation & benefit plan implementation, to benefits navigation & qualifying life event guidance, claims advocacy, and exit concierge services, you have an entire support team at your fingertips.

A large portion of the success of any Employee Benefits strategy lies in the effectiveness of the Employee Education & Communication capabilities employed.
