For Benefits Brokers

Grow the benefits book on the system you already run

One system to run P&C and Benefits. From plan data capture to quote to enroll, your team can manage your benefits book from a single system instead of disconnected ones.

Take on more groups without more tools to manage  

A benefits book can only grow as fast as your team can manage its plan details, and in many brokerages those details sit outside the BMS, in policy shells, plan designs built in Word, and insurer portals. Plan setup, renewal dates, member changes and commission statements all take time from the same people. Applied Epic® brings member and billing detail into the client’s account through direct bill import. Servicing and billing run from that same record, next to the client’s P&C policies, and commission variance reports show where a payment differs from what the plan should pay. New hires learn one workspace, and the benefits book can grow without another set of tools to license or another spreadsheet to keep in sync. 

What the benefits book runs on

Quoting, enrollment, servicing, and commissions each live in their own tool today. Health insurance broker software should hold the whole lifecycle.

What customers are saying

We chose Applied Epic for benefits technology for multiple reasons. One, we use Applied Epic as our one source of truth. We do not want to have multiple systems in our office for accounting, procedures and processes. The advances that are going on right now for Benefits is huge.

Frequently asked about benefits

Whether it understands a plan, not just a policy. Benefits work runs on plan design, rates, eligibility, renewal dates and member changes, and software built only for property and casualty tends to approximate all of it. 

The second question is whether the same client can hold benefits and P&C, so one conversation covers the whole relationship.

Yes, and it changes the economics of a benefits practice when it does. Plan data, servicing history and commissions sit alongside the property and casualty account, so there’s one client record rather than two books. 

It also removes the reconciliation between systems, which is where most of the administrative cost of running both actually sits.

Hold the whole lifecycle. It has to carry plan setup, plan intake, member data, servicing and commission reconciliation, because a gap in any one of them becomes a spreadsheet. 

Most Canadian brokers still build plan designs in Word or work them on the insurer’s portal, so it also has to accept what comes back rather than requiring a rekey.

Benefits commissions are usually paid per member or as a percentage of premium and arrive monthly, adjusting as enrollment changes. P&C commissions attach to a policy term and change far less often. 

That difference is why benefits statements are harder to reconcile: the amount owed moves with headcount, so each line has to match back to the plan behind it.
