Supplemental Voluntary Benefits are a important component of a successful recruitment and retention program. With rising deductibles and gaps in coverage, supplemental benefits can provide financial relief for both the employer and employee. Municipal Benefits Inc. (MBI) collectively has over 86 years of experience and is a fully licensed NC broker/consultant insurance agency. MBI does not work for any one insurance company therefore they are able to negotiate with multiple insurance carriers to make sure cities and towns have the best product(s) and programs available.
Voluntary Benefits products are paid for by the employee with no contribution from the employer so there is no financial burden on the municipal budget – just added benefits for employees. The employer does have a role in managing the program and allowing for processing payroll deduction for premium payments.
Voluntary Benefits help give the municipal employer peace of mind knowing their employees will have coverage when they need it. As trends continue with High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP), it’s more important than ever to offer supplemental benefits to help offset the additional out-of-pocket expenses employees may incur. Even with Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans, out-of-pocket expenses can be a burden. Offering these coverages through the League's Health Benefits Trust gives municipal employers and employees peace of mind that they are getting the best possible value for their money through the purchasing power of local governments united for their mutual benefit.
