Bethlehem, PA – The Lehigh Valley Business Coalition on Healthcare (LVBCH) has selected Clarity Benefit Solutions as the Coalition’s Online Benefits Administration Partner to provide the tools, resources, and support employer members need to provide affordable, high-quality employee benefits for their respective employees. In making this selection, the LVBCH Board of Directors has endorsed Clarity Benefit Solutions as a Preferred Partner for Online Benefits Administration Services.
Clarity participated in an extensive review process. To earn the Coalition’s Preferred Partner status, they had to demonstrate better plan performance, pricing, or enhanced service capabilities, giving employers benefits and benefit administration options that best meet their needs. Using a market-based approach, the Coalition negotiates rates that are exclusive to its members and better than individual employers could obtain on their own. Clarity’s preferred pricing for LVBCH members is available immediately.
“Clarity is proud to partner with LVBCH and be part of their mission of improving the delivery, cost, and quality of healthcare for the communities and employers they serve,” said Ryan Crapser, Vice President Strategic Partnerships, Clarity Benefit Solutions.
“The selection of Clarity as the Coalition’s Online Benefits Administration Partner serves as a continuation of the relationship previously established with bswift as the Coalition’s Private Exchange Partner. As a Preferred Partner through the Coalition, we are excited to continue our partnership, with Clarity Benefit Solutions and bswift,” said Carl Seitz, President, LVBCH. “In addition to the variety of services and capabilities available through Clarity, they also provide a dedicated service team to ensure outstanding service.”
“The cost of employee health benefits is rising at an exponential rate. As health care costs increase, more of the cost burden is being shared with employees in the form of higher deductibles or reduced coverage,” said Bill Catuzzi, President and CEO, Clarity Benefit Solutions. “At Clarity, our goal is to provide solutions that meet the need to control cost with the need to maintain employee satisfaction, attract, and retain talent. Through this partnership, we look forward to providing the LVBCH members solutions that will help offset the increase in their employees’ out-of-pocket health care responsibilities.”
Clarity’s solutions are designed to replace frustration with innovation, delivering state-of-the-art programs and tools that are tailored to your needs, easy-to-use, and supported by a dedicated service team.
