Frequently Asked Questions
There are many reasons:
- Support of BOMA BC.
- Competitive rates and pricing through bulk pricing and plan
design considerations.
- Benefit plan improvements (often at the same cost as your
current plan).
- Benchmark you current plan. If you have not done this in a few
years it may be time.
- Service. In exchange for the BOMA BC endorsement both Dehoney
Financial Group and Benefits by Design have had to commit to offer
superior service levels to BOMA BC members. Additionally, both
organizations are BC based.
- Ease of administration. The BOMA BC plans have been designed
and are supported by a commitment to better and easier plan
administration for BOMA BC members.
- Innovation. The BOMA BC program has made every effort to make
sure that the benefit program reflects the most current innovations
in employee benefits. For example, pay direct drug and dental,
Employee assistance, wellness, and optional critical event
coverage.
In most cases, we are able to offer very competitive rates and
can design a plan that is as good or better than your current plan.
If your current plan is superior - we will let you know. We can
test your plan against what we can offer. You are under no
obligation to change you current plan by asking us for a
consultation.
If you have been in business for a couple of years and have
grown beyond the one or two employee stage you will want to
consider benefits. Employee benefits can form part of the total
compensation a company pays its employees. They are an integral
component of any company's attraction and retention strategy. When
properly communicated and understood, most employee surveys
indicate that people want benefits. Why? Benefits are a more tax
efficient way to deliver compensation to employees for services and
protection they are already using, want, or need.
If you already have a group insurance plan then you have an idea
of the cost. The key is can you get more value for your benefit
dollars? If you have never had a group benefit plan we can help you
build one that can suit your budget and goals.
As a general guide, most benefit programs cost between 2-3% of
payroll (typically this is a 50/50 cost sharing arrangement between
employer/employees). We can discuss your needs and help determine
what a plan would cost your company. Group insurance is priced on
the basis of blend of macro level characteristics (industry,
region, carrier pricing models) and of your groups specific
demographic characteristics. For this reason, in order to estimate
the cost of a benefit plan, we require information specific to your
company and employees.
Absolutely. While Dehoney Financial Group's core business is

insurance firm. We offer a wide range of services available to
