- Education and communication assistance for health insurance options and benefits
- Advice and assistance with overall benefits strategy
- Financial modeling of benefit plan and funding options
- Assistance with pre-enrollment, enrollment, and post-enrollment activities
- General support of health benefit plan administration, including working with insurers
