Unified Benefits, Simplified Experience

Discover how The Fresh Market partnered with PlanSource to streamline enrollment, simplify compliance, and deliver a better benefits experience through one unified platform.

A lot of the value we see from PlanSource is to have integrations between the different benefits we offer with one group. Before, we had separate vendors for FSA, COBRA, ACA, benefit enrollment, and life events. The PlanSource ACA service is saving us time and it’s also more accurate. Back when we had it in a separate system from our benefit administration, it took a lot of time and maintenance.

Billing and remittance

We collect premiums, manage grace periods, reconcile, remit to carriers, and process refunds so cash flow is accurate and on time without chasing payments.

We process COBRA notifications daily, not weekly, which means faster turnaround and fewer delays when timing matters most.
