Renewal & Marketing

• Support the annual renewal process by collecting data, reviewing carrier proposals, verifying accuracy, and preparing market analyses.
• Assist in negotiating rates and terms with carriers to align with client goals and budget.
• Coordinate implementation for new business and carrier changes, including enrollment files, eligibility transfers, and vendor setup.

Plan Administration
