Benefits Solutions

Through our partnership with an innovative employee health benefits company in the captive arena, Starkweather & Shepley can help you determine if a Captive Insurance alternative makes sense for you. A Captive Insurance Company is a special purpose insurance company whose primary role is to insure or reinsure the retained risk of its owners. In other words, it is a risk financing mechanism used as an alternative to traditional insurance.

At Starkweather Benefits Solutions, we consistently hear from our clients and prospects that their employees do not fully understand or appreciate the value of their benefits package, and yet it is extremely costly to employers. We have a solution to eliminate this expensive disconnect.

Starkweather’s benefit compliance services include COBRA, FMLA, and CDH rules as well as extensive experience in fiduciary assessment and training, HIPAA privacy and security, wellness programs, eligibility audits, merger and acquisition transaction support, nondiscrimination testing, plan documents, and vendor contracts, as well as general compliance reviews and health care reform compliance.

Ever had an employee who is fully trained and performed well in the past, but is struggling for some reason?

Starkweather Benefits Solutions recommends employers implement an Employee Assistance Program through Coastline EAP to assist employees during troubled periods.

The HR Consulting Practice Group works with organizations to explore their HR needs and provide guidance on potential risk management strategies.

The StarShep Private Exchange, powered by Assurex Global, is a private marketplace platform that gives employers an unprecedented range of administrative flexibility and employee health benefit options.
