Employee Benefits

R.M. Beasley & Associates is a one-stop-shop for the benefits and insurance your employees want and need.  We run the reports and offer you multiple quotes from various carriers to save you time and money.

We offer more than just insurance!  Not only do we provide the right products at the right price, we deliver complete Benefit Communications to all of your employees. We work at building better relationships between employers and their employees through a comprehensive benefits communication program.

Benefits Communication: A Win-Win for Employees and Employers

Our Benefits Communication delivery plan includes:

• Group and individual employee meetings: We introduce the benefits program and highlight the benefits available. This can include the employer’s core benefits.
• Laptop computer presentations: We specifically outline the company’s existing benefits information and individual employee information (for the one-on-one meetings). This ensures that all employees receive consistent and updated information, even in multiple or remote locations.
• Personalized benefit statements: We create and provide you with a one-page snapshot of the company’s entire benefits package, including a line-by-line comparison of the costs to both the company and the employee. Employees can then see just how their benefit choices affect their bottom line: their paycheck.

Employee Benefits Coverage Descriptions

Group Medical

We help you choose which of the following types of group medical coverage plans is right for your company.

• Preferred Provider Organization (PPO): This coverage allows the individual to serve as a self-refer to any provider in the network. When using in-network providers, the higher level of benefit is received, as high as 90% after the deductible. Benefit level for non-network providers is usually 70 or 80%.
• Point of Service (POS): This coverage acts like an HMO but with in-network features.  There is a gatekeeper (Primary Care Physician or PCP) for referrals to other in-network providers. Deductibles are usually for out-of-network care only. Co-insurance levels for in-network care are typically 90 or 100%.
• Health Maintenance Organization (HMO): This coverage utilizes Primary Care Physicians to direct all care. No benefits outside of HMO provider network are covered except in cases of true emergency.
• Indemnity: This is the traditional plan of coverage. The insured is free to use any doctor or facility.

• Preventive care: Routine visits may be covered up to 100%. Small deductible may apply.
