Benefitfirst team and clients
  1. 1

    Our founding roots

    Benefitfirst was created by insurance professionals — a successful life, accident and health insurance brokerage — to solve a large hospital client's eligibility problems. The hospital was paying erroneous claims on employees no longer eligible for coverage.

  2. 2

    The audit was the answer

    We built an auditing system that compared the client's payroll data with the carriers' eligibility data. Then we layered on a weekly eligibility audit report and accurate enrollment data delivery. The result: more than $2 million saved in erroneous claims.

  3. 3

    Benefitfirst today

    Benefitfirst audits and transmits millions of eligibility updates to hundreds of carriers and vendors each year. Nimble, modular, and obsessed with getting the data right — no matter how often the rules change.
