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. We publish and distribute our newsletter for our clients and subscribers between 6 and 8 times annually. We also provide regular benefit bulletins right here on our website as news is announced.

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.

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

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?
I was completely lost when looking for new health insurance. I called several brokers, and none would take the time to explain everything to me.

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. If you are looking for health insurance I would not pass up Ed for a quote he is great for single plans as well as plans for groups for business owners. Zola Makrauer DMD 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.
