Open enrollment project management

In today's challenging environment of employee benefits, employers are often faced with changing programs or carriers to meet their strategic needs. Mazonson's team of account managers apply their project management skills to help clients navigate the open enrollment processto meet the ultimate goal of a smooth transition.

Monthly claims tracking, review and reporting

Maintaining a comprehensive understanding of specific utilization patterns is critical to the success of designing effective employee benefit programs. Mazonson’s dedicated team works closely with you to review and interpret your utilization patterns and claims data in an effort to develop programs and strategies to reduce overall costs.

Effective cost management is the result of consistent and proactive account management throughout a plan or project year, not just at renewal. Your Account Manager works closely with you throughout an entire plan year or project lifecycle measuring the performance of your plan, quality service guarantees of insurance carriers, and the respective marketplace.

We meet quarterly to review most recent claim data and to identify large losses that will impact the performance of the plan. We want to ensure year round engagement to eliminate surprises at renewal time.
