What is Framework SM? Framework is a creative benefits program that is designed to provide supplemental and ancillary coverage to employees who are not offered qualifying coverage through their employer. Our benefits will not satisfy the employer or individual mandates, but they are designed to help employees reduce their out-of-pocket expenses or provide extra money when they are hospitalized or injured in an accident. Framework provides employers with a wide array of group insurance options that will help reduce turnover and improve retention. For more than 20 years, we have been designing and supporting fixed indemnity supplemental health benefit programs for employers ranging in size from 5 50,000 lives. With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, we have re-designed our program to meet the new needs of part-time and hourly workers. Building upon our experience and reputation, we continue to grow and invest in our business to better serve our clients through superior customer service and competitive pricing. Creating Value for Employees & Employers Employees: Framework helps employees with day-to-day health care costs and creates value because it doesn t have the barriers to coverage that other plans have. Guaranteed issue, no medical questions asked at enrollment & no pre-existing condition limitations No deductibles or co-insurance (except dental and vision) Freedom to choose your own providers or use a network provider Custom employee communication materials Benefits can be assigned to a provider or paid to the employee Affordable dependent coverage Employers: Framework creates value for employers because it s affordable and has the flexibility to meet almost any budget and our flexible billing cycles make operating a benefit plan simple and easy.
