Retiree / Direct Billing services are available to employers who provide health care benefits to their retirees and dependents but require them to pay a portion of the cost or to participants on FMLA, long term disability or any other program where the participant is required to pay all or a portion of the cost of any benefit. Record keeping and premium collection associated with retiree / direct benefit administration is often time-consuming and cumbersome for employers.
