Build a Better Benefits Plan

Insurance brokers/producers need a competitive edge to win and retain clients in the long term. To achieve this goal, you require a partner who can help you develop benefit plans that do more.

The Difference Card’s model is built around this need. From creating cost-effective plans for your clients to alleviating their administrative burdens, we offer options that align with your goals.

Smarter Strategies to Control Healthcare Costs

Our cost-containment strategies aim to reduce employers’ healthcare spending, give them more control over their health plans, and maintain or enhance the quality of employee benefits. We offer:

How We Help You Succeed

As a reliable partner for brokers and produccers, we’ve built our solutions around solving your clients’ challenges:

The Constant Battle Against Rising Premiums

Rising premiums often require clients to settle for high renewal rates that require them to either spend more, increase employee contributions, or reduce benefits. The Difference Card empowers you to break this cycle with cost-containment strategies that reduce healthcare costs, turning a challenging renewal conversation into a positive discussion.

One-Size-Fits-All Plan Designs

Traditional, fully-insured plans are rigid and often fail to meet the diverse needs of a modern workforce or a client’s specific financial goals. Our MERP platform empowers you to build customized benefit plans tailored to your client’s budget and employee population, transforming you into a strategic advisor.

The Fear of Financial Risk and Unpredictable Claims

The most common objection to the savings power of self-funding is the fear of risk. Employers worry that one year of exceptionally high claims could impact their budget. We provide financial protection that contractually caps your client’s claim liability. This solution provides cost predictability and allows you to confidently present a powerful savings strategy without the associated volatility.

The Administrative Burden on Your Clients

simplify the entire benefits cycle

When you recommend a partner, their service is a direct reflection on you. With this understanding, we’re committed to making benefits effortless for your clients. Our technology-driven platform simplifies the entire benefits lifecycle, offering a seamless experience for both HR teams and employees.
