In the complex landscape of employee benefits and healthcare coverage, The Arc Mercer, a non-profit organization, has found an innovative solution to balance cost-effectiveness and employee well-being. Through a strategic partnership with BeneStream, The Arc Mercer has achieved over $300,000 in savings since 2019 with 42 employees transitioning to ACA plans. 

The Strategy Behind the Savings

BeneStream’s approach involves transitioning a significant portion of The Arc Mercer’s benefits-eligible employees to public insurance options, reducing the number of participants on the company plan and consequently lowering the overall policy premium.

Tangible Outcomes and Employee Gratitude

The outcomes of this partnership are very tangible. The employees at The Arc Mercer have expressed gratitude for the support, guidance, and most importantly, the financial savings and flexibility provided by BeneStream’s service. This innovative approach not only showcases a commitment to employee well-being but also demonstrates a proactive effort in navigating the complex healthcare landscape.

A Beacon of Success in Cost Management

In the pursuit of effective cost management and employee satisfaction, The Arc Mercer’s collaboration with BeneStream serves as a beacon of success. Shaving costs without compromising healthcare coverage is possible through strategic partnerships and innovative solutions. As organizations seek ways to optimize their benefits programs, exploring partnerships like this could be the key to achieving a win-win scenario for both employers and employees.
