Lower Your Employee Benefits Costs

Accelerated Benefits has been servicing our members for over 25 years as the preferred vendor for employee benefits.   Accelerated has identified free health insurance and free RX programs that have been used by many members to reduce and/or eliminate some or all of their costs for employee benefits.  This brief article explains some of the programs and how you can use them to reduce your costs!

OGA has teamed up with Accelerated Financial Planning Services (AFPS) to provide Association members with a comprehensive benefit package for their employees. AFPS is the exclusive broker for the OGA Health Plan with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

The overall purpose of the program is to:

• Provide employers an opportunity to offer an expanded benefit package at no cost
• Provide COBRA administration, Section 125 and Flex administration and other professional services at discounted rates
• Provide a program that reduces the employer's HR workload
• Offer a method of communicating the benefit package via computer presentations and employee benefit statements

Program offers the following benefits:

1. Products and Programs - Package includes short and long term disability, prescription drugs/vision/dental, individual health insurance for part-time employees, and COBRA administration.
2. Analysis & Evaluation - Program begins with a complete evaluation of your company's current benefit package.
3. Communication - In a single, one-on-one meeting with a benefit representative, employees learn about new benefits being offered, see how the package will affect their paychecks, and record their benefit choices.
4. COBRA and Section 125 - Program offers free installation and set up, dependent care and medical reimbursement, and COBRA administration for a $0.50 per month per employee. For more information, contact Tom Wagoner of AFPS at 800-600-4910 or at twagoner@accben.com
