Scenario
Corporation X, a medium sized Canadian Corporation had its Group Plan placed with a major Insurance provider and the company’s broker was a long-time friend of the majority shareholder. After an independent review of the Group Plan by a broker who specialized in Group Benefit Plans, a number of interesting inefficiencies were discovered. In recent years at renewal time, when the annual premium would go up significantly, the broker had simply responded by suggesting that the Corporation either place limits on certain aspects of the coverage or eliminate areas of coverage altogether. In spite of this the broker who performed the review was able to reduce the annual premium cost by close to 20% resulting in 10′s of thousands of dollars in savings. As an added bonus Corporation X was able to keep its Group Benefit Plan with the existing Insurance provider. Finally, Corporation X was able to restore Long-Term Disability as part of its Group Benefit Plan.
