Over the last several weeks, we’ve covered the importance of being ready for the Annual Enrollment Period. Knowledge, technology, training and more all play a role in making AEP successful.
But these are all true for those who are working with employers to develop strong, effective group benefit plans, too.
Although group plan enrollment periods may take place throughout the year, many employers are now prepping for Fall open enrollment periods for plans that take effect January 1, 2025. If you are in the group benefit market – or are considering entering this section of the health insurance industry – you need to be ready to help with questions, provide plan options and be there to provide the best service possible.
