F Y I   /   Q & A

Did you know?

Every month you pay your bill you are renewing your plan. Annual renewal dates are just there for the insurance companies to know when to increase your rates.

I just renewed our plan…

This is the perfect time to test your new rates in the marketplace. It is quick and painless. Would you not want to see how competitive they are?

My renewal has just past, am I locked in?

No, you are not locked in. Annual renewal dates are points in time where insurance companies adjust their future premium requirements to fund projected claims and expenses. With few exceptions, employee benefit programs can be cancelled with 31 days advance written notice.

When is the best time to review my benefit plan?

Anytime. At anytime during the contract you can cancel your program by giving 31 days written notice.

How often should I review my pension plan?

Every 2 years at a minimum.

We have had a pension plan for years. What should I do to review my program?

You should review investment performance, investment rates of return, administrative fees and services as well as overall plan design.

What about employee meetings?

You should be hosting regular & continuous information sessions for your employees for both their benefits and pension programs.

What are the costs for your services?

There is no direct cost to you. Our compensation is 100% paid by the benefit or pension provider.

Can I get rate guarantees?

Yes, PACE Consulting has managed to secure more than the standard 12-month rate guarantee depending on your specific situation.

What options do I have other than traditional insurance employee benefit programs?

There are multiple coverage levels as well as different plan vehicles. PACE Consulting offers a variety of plan design options outside the traditional approach based on creative thinking. For more information, please contact us.
