Brian Mock/Insured Benefit Plans

Insured Benefit Plans (IBP) and Alternative Benefit Plans (ABP) are focused on assisting employers in the development and administration of employee benefit programs, with a key focus on health insurance and the employee engagement required to educate plan participants about their benefits. ABP handles all aspects of the administration of self-funded health plans, including plan design, network administration, re-insurance contracting, claims paying and plan reviews, typically for companies with 100 or more employees. IBP’s focus is on fully-insured programs for small to medium businesses with anywhere from 2 to 2000 employees and the day to day administration of those plans for their clients. Their product knowledge goes beyond health insurance – the key component of most employee benefit plans – to life, disability, dental, vision and worksite insurance programs.
