Competitive plans
Access economies-of-scale pricing and offerings to compete with larger companies. Choose from a wide range of health insurance options, including group plans or custom options, savings and retirement, and à la carte products such as flexible spending (FSA), life insurance, dental, and vision. Create the plan that best fits your budget while still offering Fortune 500 benefits to take care of your employees.
Benefits administrative assistance
Take insurance stress off your plate by relying on your dedicated Stratus HR team. Don't worry about premium leakage ever again. Plus, get pre-tax and post-tax deductions for qualifying plans, reconciliation of benefit plan invoices, support for employee claims, and automatic notifications for eligibility. Rest easy knowing everything is backed up in a secure system, insurance plans are ACA-compliant, and you’ll have COBRA administration for termed employees, where applicable.
Benefits support for the whole team
Take advantage of online enrollment and access benefit information 24/7 to get answers when you need them. Determine enrollment schedules ahead of time, and your employees will receive automated reminders when it’s time to enroll. They can access benefit information online or using the Stratus HR mobile app. Get support through multiple channels, including the SMS, your online portal, Stratus HR chat, or schedule a consultation with your dedicated representative.
Flexible options
Stratus HR will partner with your broker to ensure everything is seamless, working in the background to offer support when needed. If you don’t have a broker, we’ll be your brokerage, offering large-group insurance options or helping you procure custom-fit health plans that are right for your organization.
