Core service requirements include a full-time onsite counselor at $118,000 annually, toll-free counseling, work-life/legal/financial services, onsite critical incident response (10 hours per event at no charge with $265 per additional hour), dedicated account management, 45 hours annually of worksite educational seminars, and quarterly reporting. Vendors must provide a network of properly licensed contracted providers, call center performance metrics, CIR processes and billing procedures, multilingual services (specifically Spanish), and routine marketing and member outreach. Performance guarantees address implementation readiness, phone service standards including first call resolution and abandonment rates, and member satisfaction metrics.

| SOLVENCY POLICY DISCLAIMER |
| While GBS does not guarantee the financial viability of any health insurance carrier or market, it is an area we recommend that clients closely scrutinize when selecting a health insurance carrier or HMO. There are a number of rating agencies that can be referred to including, A.M. Best, Fitch, Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Weiss Ratings (TheStreet.com). Generally, agencies that provide ratings of U.S. Health Insurers, including traditional insurance companies and other managed care (e.g., HMO) organizations, reflect their opinion based on a comprehensive quantitative and qualitative evaluation of a company's financial strength, operating performance and market profile. However, these ratings are not a warranty of an insurer's current or future ability to meet its contractual obligations. |
| RENEWAL / FINANCIAL DISCLAIMER |
| This analysis is for illustrative purposes only, and is not a proposal for coverage or a guarantee of future expenses, claims costs, managed care savings, etc. There are many variables that can affect future health care costs including utilization patterns, catastrophic claims, changes in plan design, health care trend increases, etc. This analysis does not amend, extend, or alter the coverage provided by the actual insurance policies and contracts. See your policy or contact us for specific information or further details in this regard. |
| LEGAL DISCLAIMER |
| The intent of this analysis [report, letter, etc.] is to provide you with general information regarding the status of, and/or potential concerns related to, your current employee benefits environment. It should not be construed as, nor is it intended to provide, legal advice. Laws may be complex and subject to change. This information is based on current interpretation of the law and is not guaranteed. Questions regarding specific issues should be addressed by legal counsel who specializes in this practice area. |
