COBRA

Online Automation, No Setup or Renewal Fees

We coordinate every aspect of your COBRA administration, taking the risk and complexity of compliance off your shoulders. You’ll use our secure client website to enroll new members, report qualifying events and review your monthly management reports. From that point, our COBRA experts assume all compliance administration responsibilities AND the liability.

Transfer Liability

The penalties for COBRA non-compliance are considerable. Government fines and lawsuits from former employees cost employers millions of dollars a year. In fact, COBRA is likely your highest unfunded liability. Using COBRA Solutions transfers that liability to us; you report employee events, we handle COBRA.

Increased Productivity

You can enter new hires and qualifying events online. No more paper forms to fill out and file. Once entered, the system creates and posts all appropriate notices. We review them for accuracy and mail them to participants within 24 hours.

Digital Document Management

An electronic image of every letter and notice sent to any participant is stored and date-stamped in the participant’s record. In addition, all actions taken on behalf of the participant are posted, creating a complete transaction history to prove compliance.

Superior Customer Support

Our bilingual COBRA team is available toll-free to help both you and your participants.

Limit Your Liability

Companies who choose to outsource their COBRA administration need to know their vendor partner will ensure its services are compliant with the latest COBRA regulations.
