www.wordandbrown.com - The Word & Brown Companies Melissa Suggs, 7l4-564-4896 msuggs@wordandbrowncompanies.com The Word & Brown General Agency, a division of The Word & Brown Companies, today announced the launch of its new BeneSaver program, an online wellness and savings program for small- and mid-sized companies wanting to offer employees some of the same perks found at larger corporations.
Through specially-negotiated partner links, the program offers savings opportunities on weight loss and smoking cessation programs, crisis management (EAP), vitamins, prescriptions, cosmetic surgery, vision care and Lasik surgery services, sleep disorder solutions, hearing aids, fitness facilities, and even special offers on restaurants and travel. The program's hallmark is access to wellness360, a sophisticated and robust online health management and resource tool that financially rewards employees for using the site and participating in wellness programs.
The BeneSaver program is free and does not require the purchase of insurance.
"BeneSaver helps consumers at a time when more and more employers are being forced to cut-back or drop their benefits programs. This is the only program of its kind that is not dependent on maintaining insurance. Many health plans offer similar programs, but these can go away if the employer or employee drops or switches coverage," said James Greth, Senior Vice President of the Word & Brown General Agency. "BeneSaver is a nice complement to programs offered by an existing health plan."
Brokers who place group health insurance cases through the Word & Brown General Agency can offer "BeneSaver Passport to Savings" enrollment kits with customized BeneSaver cards for each enrolled employee. The BeneSaver Passport to Savings kits direct participants to www.benesaver.com, where their entire family can access program offerings using codes on their customized BeneSaver cards. The same discounts are available to the public at www.benesaver.ws.
Employers seeking more information should contact their insurance brokers. Interested brokers may visit www.benesaver.com or contact the Word & Brown General Agency at 1-800-869-6989 and ask to speak with their representative for further information on the Passport to Savings kits.
