Benefit Allocation Systems, Inc. has expanded its Employee & Retiree Verification (“ERV”) service that helps employers prevent identity fraud in their group health plans.
BAS’ ERV service provides employers a vehicle for confirming that employees, retirees and dependents covered under the employer's group health plans are not identified by the government as deceased. One purpose of the service is to identify group health plan participants who are unlawfully using a Social Security number belonging to a deceased United States citizen. Another purpose is to identify retirees who have passed away but continue to have active records in the group health plan because no one notified the plan on behalf of the deceased.
As part of its ongoing effort to afford the highest level of privacy and security to information in MyEnroll.com, BAS provides an easy and secure method to transmit employee data files or any document that needs to be shared. MyEnroll users can upload information in the MyEnroll system to BAS Administrators, Employer Administrators, Insurance Brokers and other third parties who have access to MyEnroll.com's Secure File menu item.
MyEnroll.com provides a centralized location for an employer's Human Resources documents, forms and links while providing easy access for employees through the online Reference Library. An employer may customize the Reference Library to grant access to all employees, or to restrict access to specific Benefit Classes. This unique feature gives an employer the tools it needs to customize information provided to employees on a class-by-class basis.
Benefit Allocation Systems, Inc. will begin administering Health Reimbursement Accounts (“HRAs”) to compliment its online enrollment and Flexible Spending Account (“FSA”) administration services effective April 1, 2012.
This important offering will provide clients with three valuable service level options: (1) HRA Standalone administration, (2) FSA Standalone administration and (3) Combined HRA and FSA administration.
BAS has added four new employees to its team to start off the New Year. BAS's new hires will provide support in large account management, programming, call center and administration.
