Details, Understanding & Insight

Whether self-funded or traditional plans, underwriting is crucial to your plan success. Our team will analyze your current needs along with historical results to negotiate your renewal.

Benchmarking: Understanding how you are doing compared with your peers is important. This can be viewed in two basic areas; Claims & Benefits Package. Your claims trends versus your peers helps determine potential renewal rates. Your benefits package versus other companies helps you educate employees on your specific benefits.

Forecasts & Analysis : As claims trend negatively it's important to budget and analyze claims for their effects on future premiums. Trustco's benefits team helps analyze these trends to prevent or adjust wellness services to future claims.

Plan Analysis : Health & wellness programs, preventive medical and tele-health services are tools that can all help reduce claims & insurance utilization. However, without analysis it's impossible to know how to apply & market these tools to employees.
