As part of UBA's ongoing review of terms of engagement with our solution providers and the Strategic Solution Alliance program, we would like to inform you that AmWINS, Creative Planning, HCC International, MPIRICA,and SendOutCards will no longer be preferred solutions for UBA Partners.

UBA Partner Firms may, of course, continue to access these companies directly.

In the international benefits space, we have three Alliances available as alternatives to HCC: Churchills Consulting (also a UBA Partner Firm), GeoBlue, and ITG Worldwide.

AmWINS was the Alliance powering the HealthAdvantage Quoting Platform and the Senior Benefit Passport private exchange platform. While we don't yet have a solution in place to replace the private exchange, please consider our other self-funding solutions: Allied Benefit Systems, Confidio, Cypress Benefit Administrators, Payer Compass, the UBA Stop Loss Coalition, and UMR.

Instead of Creative Planning, check out Empower Retirement, one of UBA's Gold Strategic Alliances, for expertise and guidance in designing retirement plans.

As an alternative to MPIRICA, we have a wide variety of Alliances providing cost containment solutions.

UBA is always looking for best-in-class solutions for our Partners and their clients. Please contact the Products, Tools, and Services Committee members if you have any recommendations.
