Software handles the paperwork. A licensed advisor makes the call.
A five-person company needs most of what a hundred-person company needs: census work, rate comparisons, enrollment, compliance deadlines, renewals. We built our own platform, AllieAdvisor, to do the repetitive part of that work. That gives us more time to look at your options and answer your employees’ questions.
What the platform does
We run AllieAdvisor for you as part of our service. See the platform.
Quotes from the carrier’s filed rates
AllieAdvisor prices Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois small-group plans from the rates the carrier filed with the state, matched to your ZIP code and each employee’s age, across all 13 Illinois rating areas. If a level-funded plan might suit your group, your advisor sources and compares it with you directly.
Your census, without retyping it
Type your team in, upload a spreadsheet, or send the carrier bill you already have. Missing information is flagged for you to fill in.
Comparisons that say what changes
Premium, deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, what a doctor visit costs, your share and each employee’s share, side by side. You can export the comparison and take it to anyone.
Employees enroll themselves, in English or Spanish
Each employee gets a secure access code and doesn’t need an account, a password or an app. Dental, vision and voluntary benefits enroll in the same flow, and every employee gets a confirmation email.
Renewals that start 90 days out
You get a written recommendation: what we would change, what we would keep, and why. If your current plan is still the right one, we tell you that too. Next year starts from this year’s history instead of a blank form.
We work with the payroll service you already use.
We don’t run payroll, and you don’t have to switch providers to work with us. For a three-location restaurant with no HR department, we set up a no-cost platform where employees self-enroll and onboard online, integrated into payroll, with plan documents and employee handbooks in one place. For a 500-employee telecommunications company, we put their entire benefits on a platform that automated their HR processes, including compliance, as a cost-neutral solution.
Every recommendation is reviewed by a licensed advisor.
The software prepares the work. A licensed advisor who knows your group reviews every renewal, proposal and enrollment before it reaches your desk. Between renewals you call a person who knows your company, for claims questions, eligibility, ID cards, new hires and terminations.
Allie, the assistant inside AllieAdvisor, explains benefits. She does not give insurance advice. Insurance advice comes from the licensed professionals at Legacy Consulting Agencies.
How we protect your team’s information
These protections are enforced in the software.
- Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Documents sit in private storage and open only through short-lived links.
- Privileged logins need a text-message code, and the login fails if the code can’t be confirmed.
- Every AI feature that could touch health information runs on infrastructure covered by a Business Associate Agreement.
- Sensitive actions are recorded with who, what and when.
- We will not sell, license or monetize identifiable client, employee, census, quote or renewal data.
