Florida School District Saves Money With Creative Benefit Solutions

March 3, 2021

The Situation

A Florida School District, with 58 school locations and 3,500 employees, wanted help in meeting their insurance and employee benefit objectives. They felt that their broker was not seeking creative solutions and that they were not being offered anything other than the program that they were renewing. 

The Solution

One of our first steps was to survey the employee population. After a comprehensive analysis of the results, FBMC Benefits Management, Inc found that family coverage was too expensive. With this clear understanding of the Florida school district’s priorities, our team of professionals was able to facilitate renewals directly with carriers to secure a better plan. FBMC moved the Florida school district from a 2 tier plan to a 4 tier plan that provided employees with more affordable options for family coverage. 

Along with lower premiums and a richer plan, The Florida school district now has access to human resource tools and compliance services that reduce administrative burden and help minimize cost.

FBMC also revamped their benefits communication strategy which helped save the district even more expense and brought accessible benefits communication to all employees.
