Benefit Bytes : Nothing can be more frustrating to a business owner than finding out second hand information that their trusted advisors should be providing them with. That’s why at Total Benefit Solutions we make it a point to keep our clients informed about changes in our industry. Not just regulatory but also carrier changes, product offerings and simple benefits related guidance. One of the ways we do this is with our e-newsletter, Total Benefits Briefs.

EAP Plus- Your Small Group Employee Assistance Plan: Many small businesses don’t have the resources and tools to properly address the other issues – the people issues that invariably arise, such as addressing employee concerns, HR policies, helping with management problems, and legal issues. Owners of small businesses need tools to make their lives easier while improving their employees’ productivity.
Health Advocate : Having Health Advocate means never having to feel alone in the healthcare world. Click to link to find out more about Health Advocate and why our clients feel secure having it as an affordable addition to their benefits package.
Online HRA Administration Implementing an HRA plan for your organization can provide better benefits for your employees at a lower cost. Don’t move your plan, improve it! Online administration keeps it simple and keeps you compliant!
Defined Contribution Solutions Under the ACA many organizations will determine that they no longer want to make healthcare choices for their employees. A defined contribution plan means you can still offer a valuable employee benefit and avoid the overhead costs of choosing and implementing your own health plans.
Tax Advantaged Plan Documents: The IRS Code has numerous provisions designed to help employers provide essential benefits to their employees tax-free. This saves the employee approximately 30% in income taxes on expenses they’re already paying for, and because the employees have reduced their taxable income, the employer realizes a reduced matching payroll tax liability of approximately 8%. Everybody saves money. To take advantage of these tax deductions the IRS requires that the employer have a written plan document and the Department of Labor and ERISA law require that every employee receive a summary plan description (SPD) explaining the new benefit in easy to understand language. This site is dedicated to providing employers with the tools they need to successfully establish these written plans with SPDs at the lowest cost possible. Please don’t hesitate to call us if you have questions, we will be happy to assist you. Thank you.
Medical Bridging: Oftentimes, the cost of care has escalated to the point where the most affordable solutions are plans with higher deductibles and out of pocket expenses which can present a challenge for your employees. A medical bridging solution can be employer or employee paid and can relieve the stress of having a potential high out of expense should an unexpected accident or critical illness arise.
Group Plan Summaries: We will always provide a summary or grid for your group benefit plan.
Ancillary Benefits: Ancillary Benefits including Dental, Vision, Life, Disability, Hospital, Indemnity and Wraps. Total Benefit Solutions works impartially with all of the major ancillary benefit carriers.
Voluntary Benefits: Benefits that an employer can offer at employees expense. Voluntary benefits typically include benefits such as the ancillary benefits above as well as more specific personal plans such as cancer plans, accident plans and more. Total Benefit Solutions works impartially with all of the major voluntary benefit carriers.

Our ten employee medical practice had a large well known insurance broker for years. We always assumed we were receiving the best service. Total Benefit Solutions Inc. came in and left no stone unturned in their evaluation. The savings they provided was equal to 50% of what we were previously paying. In addition we wound up with better medical and dental plans and an overall enhanced benefit program. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the services of Total Benefit Solutions, Inc. Thanks Ed!”Ed and his team put up with all my health insurance panic and drama! In this crazy world of health insurance mania, it's helpful to have someone to put things into perspective - and find you coverage you can live with.

Ed is the most innovative and communication oriented broker that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has the most sophisticated software to service his client book of business, so that he doesn't miss a beat! Ed and I have worked together on many presentations and with various associations. He shares a true passion for helping clients small and large, which I do not find in many brokers. He is a dedicated member of the Board at the Lower Bucks County Chamber of Commerce, not to mention his many public service roles in Rotary, etc...I admire his ability to find time to help so many people!Amy Murray Hyde, Account Representative, CBDI, Inc.
David Fiebert Inc
We have been working with (Total Benefit Solutions Inc.) since we decided to start our own company benefit plan. Ed and his team took the time to answer each question along the way, and advised us about the challenges even before they happened. The support provided to us was invaluable in many aspects of running our company, not just getting the benefits installed. In retrospect I cannot imagine how any small business could complete the process on their own without creating more problems for themselves. It could have been an enormous headache, but instead it was smooth from beginning to end. Thanks!-David Fiebert, President
Over the years Ed and his crew at Total Benefit Solutions have gone over and above the call of duty to assist me with my health insurance needs. They have perfect amount of patience needed to help healthcare novices like me. I highly recommend Total Benefits. Don’t delay! Call today! -Amy H.

I'm writing to apologize and to express my dismay and regret for switching from your firm last year. What a gargantuan mistake that was!
