Data Sharing

Each partner has a different and complementary mandate and mission.

Group Benefits - Advisor - Insurer - Enterprise* - External supplier - (Prescription drug or dental card) - Payroll

ALLEGROUPE software is the product of continuous development, orchestrated by professionals who understand the needs of group benefits and insurance, with the vision to put technology to work to handle the complexities of this industry.

When data sharing helps everyone work together…

GROUP BENEFITS ADVISOR

The cycle normally starts when an enterprise hires a Group Benefits Advisor. On the enterprise's behalf, the advisor issues a request for proposals to insurers whose solutions could meet the client's needs. In addition to providing the advisor with professional event tracking management, ALLEGROUPE offers:

• rapid manual input or electronic data transfer of the company’s employee files;

• electronic data sharing with the insurer’s sales department to improve the rating process and provide faster response times;

• validation, analysis, and generation of a professional comparative analysis of the best offers, to help the enterprise and the advisor select the solution that offers the best value for the money.

ENTERPRISE

When the enterprise has chosen its insurance partner(s), ALLEGROUPE provides a unique and comprehensive tool for professional management of each aspect, and makes it possible:

• to receive electronically from each insurer the exact terms of benefits, rates and services being offered to the company manager;

• for the enterprise manager to administer changes to employee records and billing manually or through an electronic link with the payroll system, with fast and efficient access to key data;

• to export key data to the insurer on a regular basis;

• to store a full electronic record of changes or updates to employee records;

• to maintain a history file of changes in benefits;

• to interface with the payroll system.

At all times, ALLEGROUPE provides two-way data interchange with any other partner or with the client’s payroll system (subject to some limitations; see your MDI consultant for details).

INSURER

Finally, the insurer can:

• collect information electronically after approving the enterprise’s automated self-administration process and upload data into its central database or directly into an ALLEGROUPE Insurer module for comprehensive file tracking;

• share this information with its claims department and all external suppliers (prescription drug or dental cards) to settle claims as quickly as possible.

Obviously, depending on the transaction volume and the number of employees, management at each stage can be combined with external management services (insurers, third-party administrators or brokers) who can handle all services for the company.
