Employee Benefits

Group Medical

If you are a Colorado-based employer with fewer than 50 employees, you are in the same underwriting and issue pool as all other small firms in the state. When you are choosing a benefits partner it is very important to fully understand what they can and should bring to the process.

Group Life Insurance

A suitable selection of life insurance for your employees is a critical part of their overall well being. Many employees have little or no life insurance of their own and look to their employer to provide them with coverage.

For a minimal investment, employers can offer life insurance benefits that can help protect employees and their family’s financial well being. Group life plans can be designed to fit most employer budgets and represent an excellent recruiting and retention tool.

Group Disability

It pays to protect your employees’ income and your business’s profits from the financial setbacks of a disability. Nearly half of the one million Americans who filed for bankruptcy protection in 2000 did so after being sidelined by an unexpected illness or injury, (EFMoody.com).

Unfortunately, many employee benefit consultants automatically bundle disability with medical plans and minimize the importance of disability contracts.

Definitions of disability vary from contract to contract. If you are a highly skilled professional such as a physician, lawyer, etc.. it is very important to pay attention is paid to how your occupation is covered. We have deep expertise in disability benefits, Braiden Darley, President of Martin-Darley, worked for the #1 disability carrier for 10 years.

We work with some of the largest, most experienced dental benefits carriers. Our carriers offer national dental coverage with dental benefits programs for a wide range of employers, large and small.

We recognize that Dental Insurance is a benefit in high demand from employees. We have created dental plans with our carriers that offer choice to employees while being sensitive to employer budgets.

Voluntary Benefits

Voluntary benefits help employers maintain a competitive benefits program. The value for employees is the ability to buy benefits at work with group rates and the convenience of payroll deduction.

We offer a broad portfolio of voluntary products, including dental, long-term disability, short-term disability, life and vision.

Self-Funded Employers

In self-funded plans, the employer takes on a portion of the financial risk for of funding claims payments under their health plan from company assets. The employer becomes responsible for managing and administering the benefit plan.

Making a move to Self Funding is a significant step that requires careful consideration. As your broker we will advise you on selecting employer stop-loss (ESL) coverages and any third party administrators necessary to help you mitigate risk, control costs and administer the plan in an efficient manner.
