Limelight Health and BenefitsGuide Announce Partnership to Create Streamlined Benefits Solution

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Limelight Health and BenefitsGuide have announced a partnership in which their applications will be integrated to create a seamless experience for insurance professionals.

Using a combined solution, insurance brokers, general agents, PEOs and insurance carriers will:

• Eliminate redundant data entry
• Reduce the amount of time required to manage their business
• Improve accuracy
• Save money

BenefitsGuide streamlines the process of selling and servicing group insurance and employee benefits from the perspective of an insurance broker, general agent, PEO and insurance carrier. The application improves renewal retention rates and sales close ratios while also reducing the time required to service existing business and providing real time visibility into all operations.

BenefitsGuide manages all the information about clients, prospects, carriers, vendors, and brokers, and all the work that your staff does in one centralized place. Take notes and set follow up tasks, sync emails and calendar events from Outlook or your mobile device, track and manage plan information for all your clients for all lines of coverage, manage a library of all the different products you sell: Member Transactions, RFP's, Claims Advocacy work and more. More than just software, BenefitsGuide is a boutique service that takes each subscriber through business analysis, implementation, training and support.

Limelight Health is a real-time, multi-carrier insurance underwriting, quoting and proposal platform. Based in San Francisco, Limelight Health provides insurance carriers, PEOs and insurance brokers with an underwriting, quoting and proposal platform that integrates with many industry enrollment platforms to streamline processes, boost sales and improve channel performance.

The company's first product, QuotePad, is a cloud-based multi-carrier quoting platform that allows health insurance agents to quote and compare health, medical, dental and vision benefits information quickly and easily, making the decision-making process simpler for clients.

Using QuotePad, brokers can create fully customizable proposals in a variety of formats in just a few clicks, empowering business owners with the information they need in a format that works for them. Limelight has recently expanded capabilities with new products, including a full single-carrier underwriting and rating system, and a version of QuotePad that meets the specific needs of PEOs.

"We are excited to partner with Limelight Health and add another best-of-breed insurance technology application to our growing list of interconnected BenefitsGuide integration partners. Given that Limelight Health is also integrated with BerniePortal and EaseCentral, two of the leading benefit administration and enrollment platforms, with the click of a button, users of these services can now sync their data across these applications; eliminating redundant data entry, reducing the time required to manage their existing business, improving accuracy and saving money," said Jason Silverman, Founder and Chief Evangelist of BenefitsGuide.  "It's great to work with leaders like Jason T. Andrew, CEO of Limelight Health, who share our vision of an integrated single point of data entry across the employee benefit administration delivery process."

With this partnership, Limelight Health will integrate BenefitsGuide CRM data with QuotePad, giving brokers access to run quotes, create branded customizable proposals of medical, dental, vision, life insurance products, real-time employee contribution modeling illustrations, and employee decision support tools.

"As the market continues to evolve, we believe that integrations like this will help those in distribution to become substantially more efficient," said Jason T. Andrew, CEO of Limelight Health. "We are excited about the work that Jason and the team at BenefitsGuide are doing."

This is the first CRM to provide quoting / benefits administration / enrollment platform integration through a single point of data entry in the market. Users of Limelight Health, BenefitsGuide, EaseCentral or BerniePortal can eliminate redundant data entry, save time and money, all while improving accuracy across the group health insurance delivery process.

These partnerships highlight the growing importance of data integration as a means of expanding customer choice and improving the overall experience.
