BenefitReady® allows our clients to have control of their eligibility and billing to ensure complete synchronization.

“Self-Billing” is available for all lines of coverage with the fully integrated and real-time aggregated insurance carrier billing service offered by CieloStar benefits administration.

This service encompasses all benefit plans and plan types including medical, dental, vision, life/AD&D, disability, FSA, EAP, voluntary benefits, and other programs.

The aggregated bill generates using the same data that is used to produce the eligibility EDI feeds to carriers. It shows all populations of employees such as Actives, COBRA Participants, and Retirees.

Any adjustments and retroactive activity are automatically captured, calculated, and displayed. Subtotals by cost center, adjustments, and roll-up grand totals just are automated. Our clients cut a single check, and CieloStar performs all of the carrier and vendor payments with appropriate, required back-up reporting.
