Sun Life: Great Things To Come!

Posted by: Geoff Mukhtar    Feb 3, 2017

In early 2017, Sun Life, along with UBA, will roll out a new campaign to help UBA Partners become self-funding and stop-loss champions in their local market.

Together, we will provide UBA Partners with all the marketing materials needed to help them win business and save their clients money. This will be an ongoing campaign throughout the year, so watch your inbox for details!

In the meantime, if you were not able to attend the UBA Fall Meeting & Expo—or if you did attend, but need a refresher—Sun Life (a meeting sponsor and UBA’s 2016 Strategic Partner of the Year) delivered presentations regarding the Stop-Loss Coalition and shared the Self-Funded Playbook, the Stop-Loss Research Report, and Stop-Loss Benchmark. Sun Life highlighted some new tools and resources that Partners can use when talking to their clients about stop-loss and self-funding. Sun Life also highlighted the success of the UBA Stop-Loss Coalition, which is exclusively offered to UBA Partner Firms. These presentations and handouts can be found on the meeting recap page on the UBA Wisdom Network at Wisdom > Meetings > Meeting Recaps > 2016 Fall Meeting.

Self-Funded Playbook

Sun Life’s Self-Funded Playbook is a helpful guide that provides an end-to-end overview of the self-funding process. It covers deciding whether to self-fund, selecting a claims administrator, and choosing stop-loss insurance. You can download the playbook here. The Self-Funded Playbook provides guidance for employers to help them make key decisions related to funding arrangements, claims administration, and stop-loss insurance. It even includes an action plan so the employer can pick and choose the next steps that make sense for its particular business.

If you have any questions about self-funding or the Sun Life/UBA Stop-Loss offering, please contact Glen Grant at Davidson Benefits Planning at gleng@jjdavidson.com or call (503) 783-5564. For more information, visit the Sun Life page on the UBA Wisdom Network.
