Comprehensive Benefit Administrators, a company that combines traditional brokerage services with specialty services such as advocacy, claims administration, benefits expertise and compliance, today announced the launch of their new Aggregating Surplus Program, designed to build upon the cost-savings already created by their H-CAP™ division established in 2017.

Aggregating Surplus is the latest in a suite of products and innovative strategies pioneered by Comprehensive Benefit Administrators.

Michael McKenna, CEO of Comprehensive Benefit Administrators, said that the new program has been designed to outperform the more traditional ways of funding high-deductible health plans through Health Savings Accounts.

“This program helps employers save additional money by accumulating a surplus through the plan itself, which can be used to offset future premium increases. We work with companies through our strategies to help identify and understand the underlying cost drivers of health insurance, response with our strategies and H-Cap (Health Claims Avoidance Program). The result is that the surplus is owned by the plan through the employer, not the insurance company, and the funds can be used to offset future premium increases.”

McKenna said that his firm’s initiatives have been driven by uncertainty over the future of healthcare in this country on the part of business owners, and that Comprehensive Benefit Administrators has been engaged in ongoing research into additional options and solutions. Their initiatives have come into existence because of the firm’s effort to educate employers, consumers and providers of the real drivers of healthcare premium increases.

“For a long time we have believed that the national healthcare debate focuses on the wrong things. “We have a healthcare cost and price transparency problem, not an insurance problem. This is an issue of affordability.” He said that, regarding the Aggregating Surplus, “We continue to develop strategies that allow employers to fight back against the high costs and uncertainty of what Washington proposes for health care.”

Aggregating Surplus combines key services paid for and covered outside of insurance and can effectively guarantee a return on investment by reducing expenses going through employer health plans.

“We are committed to making healthcare better, reducing costs, and doing our part as shareholders,” said McKenna. “The face of healthcare is changing and we are excited about the program we have developed to help employers navigate this changing landscape.”
