Please join UBA in welcoming three new Partner Firms to our community of dynamic benefits advisory firms – Hagan Hamilton Insurance Solutions, Fejes and Associates, and BIS Benefits. We are Better Together!

Hagan Hamilton Insurance Solutions

Hagan Hamilton was founded in McMinnville, Oregon, over one hundred years ago, and has ever since leveraged partnerships with a variety of insurance carriers to provide clients with thoughtful, customized insurance solutions.

Hagan Hamilton is a humming, thriving, community—much like a beehive, in which everyone plays a distinct role but is united in a shared purpose. Their team is industrious but also operates as a family, working toward something greater than itself. This is a perfect match with the UBA culture of sharing and collaboration.

“We are always looking to improve the way we serve our customers. When we were presented with the opportunity to become a UBA Partner, we knew this was going to be something that would help us achieve that goal.  We are very pleased to be part of this great organization and look forward to growing with UBA,” says Jason John, COO and Partner of Hagan Hamilton Insurance Solutions.

As a well-respected and well-established agency, we are excited about the expertise and insights that Hagan Hamilton Insurance Solutions brings to UBA. We are particularly impressed with their dedication to immersing themselves into their clients’ needs and providing strategic insurance solutions.

Fejes and Associates

Fejes and Associates, Inc., located in Anchorage, Alaska, has been assisting individual and group clients since 1988 in a wide range of insurance and employee benefit services. These services include health, life, disability coverage, and retirement plans and experience in brokering fully insured and self-funded health plans.

Fejes and Associates has deep experience with health care providers both as clients and service providers. They offer assistance with human resource issues that include eligibility, enrollment, reinstatement, COBRA, Family and Medical Leave Act, claims handling and settlement, and compliance monitoring and reporting. The Fejes staff focus on cost containment and cost management features relative to health plan design and are extremely sensitive to the concerns of rural native corporations, both for profit and not-for-profit.

“UBA will enhance our ability to solve problems, find solutions, and service the needs of our clients and prospects. We are looking forward to being a part of UBA and the mutually beneficial opportunities to come,” says Christopher Fejes Jr., Producer of Fejes and Associates, Inc.

Chris and his team are known for being dependable, prompt and working hard to meet the responsibilities and expectations of their clients. Their focus in keeping clients informed about change and looking out for their best interests mirrors the passion of the Partners that make UBA great.

BIS Benefits

Based in Alpharetta, Georgia, BIS Benefits has been focused on serving employers in the Atlanta metropolitan area for more than 20 years. They specialize in selling and servicing group medical, dental, life and disability insurance to small and mid-size companies.

“We are excited to become a part of the UBA family. Being an independent advisor in our world of acquisitions, it is imperative to join forces with other firms in our industry to collaborate on all aspects of our business.  And, because compliance is becoming a full-time job, it is comforting to know that UBA has the necessary personnel and resources available at our disposal. We are honored to join forces with such an elite organization,” says Ray Bachman, Founder and President of BIS Benefits.

The BIS Benefits service model is unique and an added bonus to both employers and their employees. Their inbound call center and carrier concierge status helps client service representatives provide quick solutions to resolving claims and billing questions. “The BIS in our company name stands for ‘Best in Serving’ and we do our best to ‘walk our talk’ in serving our clients, vendors and employees," said Ray.

Ray and his team’s values and enthusiasm to contribute to our community of like-minded professionals make them an ideal fit with our culture. UBA looks forward to our new relationship with BIS Benefits and the mutual benefit of shared ideas and best practices.
