Did You Know PIA Markets Employee Benefits? | |
Pop quiz: When one of your employees experiences one of the following situations, who is responsible for dealing with the insurance company or medical provider and getting things straightened out?
· Their claim is denied by the insurance provider.
· They try to fill a prescription and it gets rejected.
· After paying for a service up front they don’t know how to submit the claim for reimbursement and/or they don’t realize their doctor didn’t give them the paperwork they need.
-
A doctor who is a “preferred provider” on the employee’s plan refuses to take them as a patient.
- They don’t understand how the deductibles, co-pays and out-of-pocket maximums work.
- They can’t figure out whether or not something is covered by their plan.
-
They know something is covered by their plan, but they can’t figure out who to call or where to go to get it.
If your company purchases employee benefits through the average insurance agency, the answer to all of the above situations is that the employee must research and address the issue themself. Depending on what’s at stake, this can be so incredibly time-consuming, frustrating and anxiety-producing that it affects your employee’s focus and productivity at work and can make their personal life miserable.
However, because you are a member of PIA, it doesn’t have to be that way. At absolutely no extra cost, you can have a team of experts “on call” to handle these situations for you and your employees.
