Employee Benefits Administators (EBA), can provide outsourcing benefits administration services for small to mid-sized businesses. The office, located in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, has opened for business.
Many employers today are looking to outsource any function that is not directly linked to the generation or income. Human Resources Administration is therefore one function that should be looked at first, since it does not directly contribute to the generation of income.
Outsourcing can be a proactive way to increase productivity and reduce costs. Employee Benefits Managers aim to deliver high quality benefits administration services and customer service to clients, allowing them to focus on other strategic initiatives.
EBA will initially target clients with ten to 500 employees when it opens. The service will offer four levels of customization, so clients can choose the one that best suits their needs.
- COBRA (Consolidated OmniBus Reconciliation Act) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) Administration
- Flexible Spending Account Administration
- Basic Benefits Administration for health and welfare plans, including a call center
- An ‘#8220’ All-Inclusive level which combines all three levels
EBA will market their services through insurance brokers, business associates, local businesses, professional associations, and other organizations. EBA plans to be certified in Pennsylvania as a WBE, Women’s Business Enterprise, in order to conduct business at the State, Federal and Local levels.
Employee Benefits Administrators has been established as an LLC (Limited Liability Company). Cindy Wells, Diane Davis and the company’s principals are equal owners.
