More than a checkbox
Don't just pay for documents. Turn COBRA into an off-boarding experience that saves time and money.
Navigating COBRA gets complex. Whether it's state or federal continuation, every departing employee gets personalized support.
Revolutionary TPA services
Most brokers use traditional TPAs for COBRA. We provide off-boarding solutions. We'll get you set up faster than you can say "Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act."
Expertise and compliance
Our attorneys and compliance pros are COBRA experts. We provide reliable, accurate off-boarding. You'll see greater value than with any other COBRA administrator.
Comprehensive support
We provide the support administrators should have given all along. Our licensed folks help employees make better decisions about COBRA by making all of their options accessible.
Lower renewal costs
Kaiser Family Foundation found that the average annual spend for COBRA participants is almost double that of other enrollees. They're also more likely to have multiple chronic conditions. Since we provide COBRA, Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace comparisons and make it easy to enroll in them, the result is lower COBRA participation. That typically means lower renewal costs for your clients.
Integrations that make your life easier
We work with the benefits administration systems that are important to you and your clients, making it easy to put COBRA on auto-pilot.
COBRA subsidies can be a headache. We make it easy.
If you've ever had an employer ask you to help with subsidies, calculating lump sum payments, determining tax withholdings, etc. you understand.
Automate subsidies for departing employees
Instead of lump sum payments subject to payroll taxes, we make it easy to provide direct subsidies only to those who elect COBRA. Employers get the tax advantages they're used to. If departing employees find a job with insurance, they usually terminate COBRA and subsidies resulting in even bigger savings. Employees also get the advantage of a special enrollment period when the subsidy runs out, buying them time to find better coverage. Kept handles all of this without you or the employer doing any extra work.
Customized off-boarding docs for employers
Instead of walking into exit interviews with twelve page COBRA documents that provide little support, employers can generate customized exit documents that introduce departing employees to their off-boarding advisor. These documents also include COBRA details specific to the employee. Employers can designate subsidies on an individual basis and the document will account for all of this, explaining subsides clearly to each employee.
Review of options when subsidies end for employees
We don't abandon employees after their initial COBRA decision. If they elect COBRA, we engage them each time they qualify to make changes in the Marketplace. If their subsidy ends or Marketplace open enrollment starts, we'll reach out and help them analyze options again. If they qualify for something more affordable or that's just a better fit than COBRA for their needs (which is often the case), we help them understand options and make it easy to enroll.
