1 It s easy to ask the questions if you know what they are Do you have an employee benefits broker/consultant but you aren t sure if they are providing the services and expertise you deserve? Employee benefits are now the most important form of compensation to your employees according to many surveys. How can you be sure your benefits broker/consultant is the best possible fit for your organization? It s hard to know the questions to ask if you aren t intimately familiar with the employee benefits business. This tool is designed to provide you with the list of the services and benefits of using BSI which can be used to compare to your current broker/consultant. Experience - BSI Benefit to Client BSI Current Specialize and focus only on employee benefits since Most brokerages focus on many lines of coverage. By specializing you are assure we are experts in what we do for you. Privately held, family, locally owned agency. We work only in the client s best interest. We are not working for a better share price or stock holders or carriers. 98% client retention. Most brokers retain only about half of what they sell because they aren t as focused on service or pass the service to another in the office after 1 P age

Every employee licensed and fully trained. Appointed with 100% of the market. Emphasis on proactive consultative approach. You can be sure everyone you work with at BSI is licensed and well trained. We believe we are students of this business and therefore always learning. The carriers appreciate us because Cynthia is the only broker/owner that has worked at a carrier in town. We understand the details that other. Brokers/consultants do not and therefore we are able to be appointed with 100% of the market regardless of volume. This translates to almost no issues with benefits. We work to take the surprise out of everything by asking questions, listening and pro-actively managing expectations and solutions before a problem arises.

Having been on the carrier side for many years we are told all the time how much they appreciate our attention to detail and expertise/knowledge.

We help you HIPAAproof your HR department and more importantly anyone who has access to benefited employees! Did you know you that if you have more than 100 employees you are subject to ERISA? Do you wonder why the carrier sends you schedule A 5500 statement? Well it s because you are required by federal law to disclose your benefit plans and broker compensation. We can help. Did you know that as of May 23 rd, 2010 health plans need to be tested for non-discrimination coinciding with their renewal? That is part of PPACA.
