A new partnership between Colonial
Life and PlanSource offers employers and their employees streamlined
access to enrollment capabilities and services that can save them time
and money.
Colonial Life’s Harmony® enrollment system now offers real-time
integration with PlanSource,
a leading provider of online software applications for the benefits
industry. With a few clicks, employees can enroll in a broad range of
benefits including Colonial Life’s insurance
products — including disability, cancer, critical illness, hospital
confinement, life and accident insurance — all from directly within the
PlanSource platform, providing a seamless enrollment experience of
comprehensive core and voluntary benefits for employers of all sizes.
The PlanSource platform also has an integrated HR Administrator Portal
with powerful reporting options and a premium billing tool that will
list all Colonial Life elections, as well as active plans from other
carriers, all in one place. Electronic data interchange services
guarantee carriers receive and process enrollment information
electronically to save time and money. In addition, benefits
communication tools help employer groups communicate the value of
their employee benefit offerings and increase overall company
satisfaction. This integration enables brokers to upgrade their employee
groups to a powerful, streamlined, web-based enrollment and
administration system that reduces human resources labor costs and
provides a barrier-to-entry for competing brokers.
“By integrating our Harmony® enrollment system with PlanSource, brokers
and employers can now offer Colonial Life benefits via a seamless
enrollment process,” says Missy Porth, director, enrollment solutions at
Colonial Life. “This partnership combines the leading edge technology of
both companies with Colonial Life’s nationally certified benefit
counselors. Together, we make benefits enrollment easy and efficient
for employers of all sizes.”
“The ability to integrate the Colonial Life Harmony system with the
PlanSource enrollment platform creates the smooth and uninterrupted
online experience that users have come to expect,” said Scott Carver,
president of PlanSource. “The ability to add worksite benefits and the
related rating requirements in real time, all in one continuous
enrollment experience, puts this partnership on the leading edge of
benefits administration capabilities. It gives brokers and employers a
distinct advantage because it keeps all of the relevant plan data,
enrollment and billing information all in one place.”
