Allied Benefits

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Allied Benefits Management, Inc., a benefits broker, delivers cost savings to self-insured clients in the areas of Employee Health Benefit Plans, Third Party Administration, Health Care Management, Benefit Claims Audits and Risk Management.

Allied Benefits has products that have been vetted as ‘best in class’, built for national consumption, but with local administration and focused customer support. We negotiated with national providers the ability to un-bundle their benefits packages and offer, in our opinion, the best components in a customized program for our clients. Because Allied Benefits partners with large buyer consortiums, we are able to get the best components at deep discounts, and in turn pass the savings along to our clients.

Allied Benefits is proud to partner with Benexcel Consortium, TFG Partners and LPiHO to deliver better health at lower costs to our clients.

Benexcel Consortium is a for-profit corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Delaware Valley Health Care Coalition Inc (DVHCC). It is through Allied Benefit’s partnering with Benexcel Consortium and their relationship with DVHCC’s vast member consortium that we have the ability to utilize highly leveraged contracts. Benexcel Consortium negotiated both deep discounts with premier health plan services organizations, and also de-bundled program components. As a result, customized plans can be constructed, either duplicating your existing benefit structure or changing it as you wish, and at the same time save your plan administrative and medical costs. Additionally, the plan will be transparent to your members or employees, causing little or no disruption with the providers they currently use.

The new Benexcel Consortium plan produces significant reductions in medical and administrative costs for those labor and labor friendly groups choosing to participate in the program. Program providers include:

Linking Pharmacists to Improving HealthCare Outcomes, (LPiHO), works with employers to offer consumer incentive programs that focus on patient self -management education and techniques to help patients with chronic conditions improve health outcomes. The program matches health plan beneficiaries with community pharmacist “coaches” who provide hands-on education, while monitoring and evaluating the employees’ health improvements. Through one-on-one counseling sessions with pharmacists, employees can learn how to better manage their chronic conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol) and reduce associated risks.

Positive biometric changes, which measure illness acuity, demonstrate patient improvement. Financial savings ranging from an average of $3,000 to $4,000 per participating member per year is an expected saving for standard patient profiles after all costs for the program are accounted for. Savings persist for at least five years, according to long-term outcomes studies.
