Our presence at open enrollment, at wellness events and in our online system encourages employees to contact our staff about claims issues, benefit confusion and general questions.
Our Benefits Success Experts have been very successful at negotiating claims with both providers and insurers, with countless examples of mis-billed claims that have been resolved. We are on call daily for your employees’ needs and we encourage them to contact us directly if they have questions about plan designs, claims, wellness initiatives and service offerings.

We believe in making the Open Enrollment (OE) process fun. We want to encourage your staff to enroll and engage in their health. So, whether it’s handing out goodies at your Open Enrollment meeting(s), creating and implementing contests to incentivize employee engagement or designing a wellness program to encourage healthy living throughout the year, we think the meeting itself is the perfect time for you communicate the value of your benefits and to get the goodwill you deserve for the money that you spend on benefits.

Actuarial Analysis
Our proprietary underwriting tool provides insights unmatched in the industry. Our tool reviews clients’ demographics, regional cost of care by insurance carrier, and claims. Our parity tool analyses the premium and the relative value of the plans being offered to ensure that a decrease in plan design is met with the appropriate decrease in cost With this tool, we are able to show the best value overall, which is not necessarily the cheapest. Beyond renewal actuarial services, we can provide access to INBR reporting for self-funded client at no cost as requested.
Carrier Billing Audits
After each open enrollment, we provide a complete audit of every bill to ensure open enrollment changes were processed correctly. We are also willing to do an audit on request at anytime for clients. For some clients, we have also partnered with services that complete this on a monthly basis to ensure continued accuracy.
Claims Analysis
We will look at your claims and make targeted plan design recommendations based on utilization. For example, last year, with one client, we found 42% of ER over-utilization. By moving this to a higher copay and educating employees on alternatives like telemedicine and urgent care, we were able to bring the excess utilization down.
Custom Reporting Package
We provide custom reporting for self-funded clients so you can understand claims risk and make informed decisions prior to renewal. We will identify high cost claims and create expected renewals based on the reporting and claims.
Wellness Events
Your benefits success team is well versed in different wellness plan options and will do a formal wellness plan RFP to determine the best options for your group. We are dedicated to helping employees to healthy in unique ways. We have created onsite/ near site clinics, managed numerous health fairs, and created fun and meaningful events including benefits hikes, bike rides and community service. We have also scheduled seminars to help with financial wellness and stress management. We have experience working with carriers to find low cost solutions that help employers with productivity, absenteeism, and workplace culture.
On Site/ Near Site Direct Care
We have created near site direct primary care practices for clients in the Boulder area ( though we are able to expand to any location) through our direct primary care practice, Foundation Health. With direct primary care, employees face no barriers to getting the care they need through flexible scheduling, longer provider face time with an average visit of one hour and no copays, coinsurance or deductibles at the direct primary care practice. With out barriers, employees are able to treat issues early, turning potentially large and life threatening claims that spiraled out of control because of inadequate access to simple procedures, quick surgeries or lifestyle changes that have lifelong impact.
Webinars & Presentations
We also offer lunch-and-learns for our clients to better understand pertinent topics in benefits including Medicare, Medicaid, balance billing among others. If you have a wellness fair, we can help you manage and coordinate it so that you can educate your staff on the best ways to be proactive in their health. We are also available for webinars to help employees understand their benefits.
Enrollment Materials
We design and print custom benefit guides to help your employees navigate your offerings. We create powerpoint presentations as needed. We coordinate with carriers for additional printed resources. We update and maintain our online portal for your preferences. We do all of this at no additional cost. See example guides from past years.
Before you even become a client, we can collect information about your benefits to help us create a real plan of action when you become an FH Insurance member.

We can help you implement integrated software that will minimize benefits inconveniences. This includes a free online enrollment tool; payroll software; compliance support services, including COBRA and Flexible Spending accounts; and much more. We’ll negotiate rates at renewal, attend enrollment presentations, and be on call to answer any plan-related questions that may arise.
We have worked with the insurance brokerage folks at FH for 8 years. They help us to stay on top of the issues relevant to health insurance as well as other employee benefits. In fact, we use FH to handle most of our employee benefits. We are extremely happy with FH and the services they have provided. They partner with us regarding the critical issues related to cost and coverage and carrier relations and employee usage/communication. They help us deal with individual insurance claims as well. What we appreciate most about FH are the relationships we have with their team. Carol and Ronnie and Gary are so supportive and responsive. These are good, good people who make a difference with our overall employee benefits package. I can’t say enough good things about FH.
