CLIENT NEED

Benefits Plus Consulting Group, Inc. was retained, as a subcontractor, by a large prime on a five-year Medical Plan Audit contract for a large east coast state. The plan serves approximately 165,000 members. The State required independent audits of ten administrators that managed their self-insured medical, prescription drug, dental, mental health and flex-spending programs, in order to ensure compliance with contractual provisions and help to claim any cost recoveries for substandard performance.

• Resolved any discrepancies in order to issue final reports.
  

RESULTS

The Benefits Plus Consulting Team continued to perform this work for one full five-year contract term, despite two acquisitions of the primes involved, and was retained again for the second five-year term.
