When you join the BX, you put a health benefits expert on your team -- CCI Benefit Solutions, Inc.!

As an independent brokerage, CCI Benefit Solutions has the freedom to explore all the options the marketplace has to offer your firm.  They'll analyze a variety of carriers (like Anthem, United Health Care and Medical Mutual of Ohio) and present you with the choices that best address YOUR needs.

The Construction Industry Alliance (CIA) permits BX members to form a health care buying cooperative—specifically, CIA members can receive business discounts.

While the BX can't control what insurance companies charge, we can help you control what YOU pay.
Better Rates through Bigger Groups...
Larger groups get lower rates! This basic rule of health insurance can make it difficult for small employers to find affordable coverage.  One solution is to combine their collective buying power and buy insurance for all of their employees. Ggroups can do this by forming a "Health Care Alliance".

Your Benefit
A smaller employer who is part of a qualified alliance can receive business discounts and significantly reduce employee health insurance plan premiums.

Eligibility
Employers must have fewer than 150 employees with the majority of them working in Ohio.  Also, you must be a member in good standing with the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio.


Employee Benefits and Financial Services

In addition to health care coverage, Exchange members have access to a variety of employee benefits and financial services at reduced rates, including:

  • UNUM Short Term Disability -- Sports injuries, back disorders, accidents, and pregnancies are common causes of absenteeism in the workplace. They are inevitable, perhaps, but can be potentially devastating to your employees. Through UNUM, Exchange members can offer their employees valuable protection from a problem that's all too real.

    More importantly, the need to make decisions regarding short term disability (STD) fair and consistent is more important than ever. At stake are your company's morale, productivity, even compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

    With an insured STD program with UNUM Life Insurance Co., BX members can better manage short term disabilities, and do more for their employees and company.

  • UNUM Long Term Disability -- When faced with an employee who's been disabled or uninsured, employers have few options. Do you continue to pay all or part of a salary? Offer unpaid leave? Terminate employment? For you and your employee, the choices can be devastating.

    Contrary to popular belief, long term disability (LTD) insurance is not a high-cost employee benefit. In fact, when compared with retirement, medical, workers' compensation, social security disability and dental premiums, LTD is the least expensive coverage.

With UNUM Life Insurance Co., BX member firms receive up to a 20 percent discount and can customize their coverage. UNUM's annual premium averages $200 per employee. Given the high incidence of disability and the low premium cost per employee, LTD coverage makes good sense in today's workplace.

  • UNUM Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment -- Exchange members have access to a variety of life and accidental death & dismemberment plans that are fully insured and underwritten by UNUM Life Insurance Co.

    Life and AD&D options include plans with flat coverages of $10,000, $20,000 and $50,000, or employees can choose coverages that pay one and two times their basic annual earnings, up to $100,000 maximum.

  • Retirement Plans -- Participating in the BX endorsed retirement plan through CCI Benefit Solutions is a strategic way to give your employees the retirement plan they can really use. And, as part of a larger group, you enjoy economics of scale, which translates into lower costs.

    As part of the BX plan, you can offer your employees a retirement plan with a diversity of investment options from a variety of respected fund managers. A plan that can help you attract employees and increase employee production ... at a cost you can afford.
