ZLC’s proprietary formula to boosting
the power of your Benefits Program

Financial Savings
 

Members can realize material savings on their benefit plan costs. By taking advantage of the purchasing power of this buying consortium, the insurer’s costs are structurally lowered, which has a direct impact on reducing your premium rates. These savings are sustainable as they do not represent marketing discounts that will disappear after the first renewal.

First Class Service
 
We become an extension of your Human Resources team and partner with you to provide a full range of services related to your benefits program including strategy, vendor renewals and procurement, budgeting, and day-to-day plan administration support. We take a “team of three” approach, with an Advisor, an Account Executive, and a Service Representative all assigned to your company, ensuring that you always have support when you need it.

Rate Stability at Renewal
 

Typically for smaller groups, the annual renewal process with insurers can be a bumpy ride, with significant fluctuations in rate adjustments year-over-year. By being part of a buying consortium, you have peace of mind that your plan is financially predictable and sustainable. Claims experience and employee demographics are combined, providing financial stability to you and minimizing rate volatility at current and future renewals.

Plan Design Accessibility
 

You have access to plan design features that you would not be able to access outside of the consortium. You will  have more flexibility in selecting the right plan at an appropriate price point. This ultimately allows you to provide employees with coverage that is relevant to their needs.
