The Challenge
Disconnected Processes & Manual Work
Collected census data shouldn't be a project in itself. However, for most brokers, it is. You're forced to chase down spreadsheets, navigate inconsistent formats, and request sensitive employee info via email. All of which is time-consuming and incredibly manual.
And, if you're quoting level-funded plans? That means collecting medical history, too, through clunky paper forms or unsecured PDFs that increase compliance risk and delay underwriting.
Common roadblocks for streamlined workflows include:
- Lack of a standard process across carriers and groups
- Difficulty collecting complete data from new prospects
- Manual follow-ups with HR or individual employees
- Inefficient or redundant data entry later in the quoting or enrollment process
- Paper-based MHQs that require back-and-forth and increase processing time
