Claims Resolution or Appeals
We do not contact carriers on behalf of employees to dispute or appeal claim decisions.
Direct Communication with Insurance Carriers or Providers
While we may help employees understand next steps, we do not make calls or send emails to carriers, doctors, hospitals, or billing departments.
Billing Corrections or Refund Requests
We cannot intervene in billing disputes between the employee and provider or carrier.
Negotiation of Charges or Services
We are not involved in negotiating costs for procedures, treatments, or prescriptions.
Legal, Tax, or HIPAA Advisory Services
We do not offer legal interpretations, tax advice related to benefits, or individual HIPAA consultations.
Retirement Plan (401(k), Pension, etc.) Questions
These inquiries should be directed to your retirement plan provider or HR.
Workers’ Compensation or Disability Claims Management
While we can answer general benefit-related questions, formal management of these claims is handled by your HR or TPA.
Leave Administration (FMLA, STD, LTD, etc.)
We can help explain how benefits may be impacted, but all formal leave requests and documentation must be handled through HR or your leave management vendor.
System Access/Password Resets for Employer Platforms
For technical issues with your benefits enrollment platform (e.g., login issues), please contact your internal HR or IT department. This also includes demographic changes within the system of record.
