- Employer solution for rising costs
related to health care reform
- Successful pilot program leads to
national rollout
- Expect to double number of authorized
brokers in 2015
Insperity, Inc. (NYSE: NSP), a leading provider of human
resources and business performance solutions for America’s best
businesses, today announced a strategic alliance with
UnitedHealthcare and its broker distribution partners. The rising
costs associated with health care reform created an ideal
opportunity to align forces and provide a greater value to
companies facing substantial increases in health insurance
cost.
“The complexity and costs associated with health care reform
continue to be a focal point for brokers, employers and employees.
This alliance offers a comprehensive solution that provides added
value to companies for the long term,” said Richard G. Rawson,
Insperity president. “This solution is the result of the deepening
relationship between UnitedHealthcare and Insperity, and our joint
commitment to continuing to increase the value we deliver to our
customers.”
Under the agreement, designated insurance brokers affiliated
with UnitedHealthcare are offered the opportunity to introduce
Insperity products and services to renewing or prospective clients.
With Insperity Workforce Optimization®, businesses can receive a
comprehensive human resources solution, as well as health benefits
through UnitedHealthcare, all for a single competitive fee. This
combination helps companies run better, grow faster and make more
money.
“By engaging UnitedHealthcare’s broker network to promote and
co-sell Insperity Workforce Optimization solutions, alongside
Insperity’s sales team, more employers and individuals will have
access to better information and incentives to make better
decisions, the information they need to manage their health costs,
and the help they need in finding the right care at the right
place,” said Anthony R. Carr of UnitedHealthcare.
During 2014, 36 agencies participated in a pilot program,
supported throughout the sales process by Insperity Business
Performance Advisors. Based on this success and requests from
brokerage firms to be part of the program, the alliance is
expanding nationwide and expects to double the number of agencies
in 2015.
“In the recent past, no insurance agency would have had the
access to offer Insperity to its clients. When we were given the
opportunity to work with an industry leader it really made sense
for us, but more importantly, it became a great fit for many of our
clients,” said John Krantz, partner at McLaughlin Brunson Insurance
Agency LLP. “Given the vast changes and inordinate complexities
that have occurred as a result of health care reform, this alliance
with UnitedHealthcare and Insperity will continue to be a far
reaching solution for issues facing our clients and business owners
today and well into the future. We are excited about what this will
mean for McLaughlin Brunson Insurance Agency and our mutual
clients.”
