AASA Members are cutting costs
With the rise of employers’ healthcare costs (about 5%-10% per year), the educational community is searching for fast and proven ways to cut costs while still maintaining coverage for employees and their eligible dependents.
HMS Employer Solutions has placed a significant focus on serving the unique needs of the educational community, which is why we are the only provider of Dependent Eligibility Audit services endorsed by the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) .
We are proud to have the endorsement of an institution that represents over 80% of the school districts in the country. We have worked with more than 350 school districts nationwide on dependent verification reviews. Our experience has taught us that educational institutions require special planning, scheduling, and communication given the academic school year. The goal of these audits is not to attempt to remove people from proper coverage, but rather to ensure the plan is administered as designed and for those who are entitled.
Before endorsing HMS, the AASA School Solutions Center performed a thorough review of the business’ process. This process was to verify we are a trustworthy firm and deserving of administrators’ consideration. The AASA also conducted extensive interviews with our clients and found that educational institutions could achieve substantial savings through the use of our services.
Since 2001, clients have saved over $1 billion through our auditing services. Over 2 million dependents have been verified through our dependent eligibility services, which makes HMS Employer Solutions one of the most qualified dependent verification providers in the industry.
The results of a dependent audit can be significant within an educational establishment. Those districts that have already conducted the process have received a return on investment of over 1000% within one year. Often, between 4 percent and 8 percent of employees are found to have an ineligible dependent on a company health plan. These ineligible dependents are increasing the healthcare costs to your school district and your plan’s members.
