Kansas State Streamlines COBRA Administration With Innovative Web-Based Solution
“Two of our primary strengths are flexibility and adaptability,” explains COBRAGuard’s Marketing Director Mike Gallagher. “COBRAGuard isn’t an ocean liner – it’s a speedboat. If our customers need us to react and change, we quickly give them what they need.” Gallagher says that the state’s COBRA administration transition is underway and that his company is diligently working to accommodate the state’s data integration and reporting requirements. “I have no doubt that we’ll exceed their expectations,” he says. “We have a strong track record of success with delivering customized reporting for a wide variety of accounts, including Allstate, Saint Luke’s Health and Medical Benefit Administrators of Maryland, just to name a few.”
The state of Kansas employs 50,000 people with 300 to 500 COBRA continuants at any given time. According to recent studies, COBRA administration is one of the most commonly outsourced HR functions. “Companies and municipalities now realize that there’s no reason to continuously invest in the endless training, legal review and documentation needed to properly administer COBRA,” says COBRAGuard President Robert Meyers. “It’s considerably more cost-effective to outsource this service to experts who manage it day in and day out.”
“The transition is going well,” says Hancock. “We’re looking forward to the efficiencies of being fully implemented.” Meyers agrees saying, “We are delighted to have been chosen as the COBRA administrators for our state. As a Kansas corporation, we are proud to be able to serve our community.”
