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.

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.

Chris Handley
I work with dozens of insurance brokers in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Personally, I have never met a health insurance broker who cares more about his clients. Ed is always looking for innovative ways to provide his clients the highest quality coverage, and at prices that are affordable. Ed is one of the few people that I would trust to provide my own family with insurance.Chris Handley, Account Executive Savoy & Associates (United Healthcare)
Highly recommend. They took the time even when it was the busiest time of year for healthcare. They explained the details patiently to help stream the process painlessly.

Total Child Care
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! To recount the horrors of dealing with the firm we switched to would only cause me to relive them, something I'm not willing to do (at this point). What do I have to do to get back with you guys? Netstride Internet Solutions
The daunting landscape of health insurance is difficult for any business owner or individual to navigate. Ed and his team make the process really easy. We’ve been with Total Benefit Solutions Inc. for many years, and we recently decided to switch our plans. Both Ed and Amber spent time walking us through the various options, including the pros and cons of each plan and answered countless questions. Their patient guidance allowed us to pick a plan that we feel best meets the needs of our business and employees.Gregory Tarallo, President Netstride Internet Solutions
CBDI, Inc
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.
Bruce McIntyre
Ed, and his group, is perhaps the most knowledgeable in PA for healthcare. Note that while Ed has major misgivings with ACA, he has taken the time to read the legislation, and to understand it's implications, and to provide advice to his customers based on reality, not some right or left wing fantasy. If you want actual information on healthcare, talk to Ed and his group.-Bruce McIntyre

Bucks County Women’s Healthcare
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!”Travel Wizards
Even though I have met many insurance brokers over the years, I’ve found Ed MacConnell and his staff at (Total Benefit Solutions Inc.) to be the best. Thoughtful, informative and professional.

Ed is an expert in health insurance. I am a health care provider myself and I know how difficult this business can be. He is knowledgeable with all of the health insurance companies in our area.

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
BKZ Contractors Inc.
I found out the hard way what having the wrong coverage can truly cost. Even though I had insurance I found out later that my child’s birth was not covered and I had to pay 100% of the costs. After that I found the guys at EMA (Total Benefit Solutions Inc.) and Ed found me a plan that was not only better, the premiums were lower as well. Thanks again!Brian Zeldes, President BKZ Contractors Inc.
Paige Wolf Testimonial Dec 2018
Through all my insurance ups and downs through various degrees of employment, changes, marketplace changes, and medical needs, Ed and his team have kept me informed and sane through the constantly changing process. I honestly don’t know what I would do without them to call on when I am in an insurance panic! Even when they have no financial incentive, they are always there to help me!
