MSI BenAdmin – Zevo Benefits

This BenAdmin portal serves as our client’s online benefits communication and enrollment platform. Employees are given access the site to the site to review and enroll in their benefits from their home, office, smartphone, or tablet. Traditional “paper/ink” enrollments have become virtually obsolete – for good reason. In the past, many employers struggled with the handling, processing, and reconciling of multiple carrier insurance applications, billing statements, and tracking of payroll deductions. Zevo provides a single electronic point of entry for all insurance products. Employees’ and their covered family members’ enrollment details are fed electronically through an EDI connection to each insurance carrier. Zevo ensures that each carrier invoice and payroll deductions match the actual coverage elected by employees. The system is programmed to account for waiting periods, pay cycles, late entrants, age reductions on life insurance, and all possible life events that occur throughout the year.

  • MSI’s EDI team is licensed and trained in the insurance field and is who handles all programming and data mapping
  • “HIPAA 834” compliant  – federal government standard layout for electronic insurance eligibility data
  • True EDI – Enrollment details are sent directly into the carrier’s eligibility database. (Please note that this feature is itself a crucial distinction not to be confused with so-called “web-based enrollments” or “internet eligibility” capabilities, both of which require subsequent data entry or manipulation d thus vulnerable to errors)
  • Simultaneously, Zevo has the ability to send files to our clients with payroll deduction elections  directly into the client payroll system
  • MSI performs the extensive “data mapping” needed to accomplish these feeds
  • Benefit Statements are generated and emailed to the employee at the conclusion of each enrollment. This statement itemizes the employee’s elections, cost per pay period,  and employer cost for each benefit

MSI Multimedia Messaging Services/Text Messaging

We add an extra method of communicating with employees by managing a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) which enables texts, pictures and sound clips to be disseminated in mass to your employees who opt-in. This MMS text capability is available throughout the year for short benefit bulletins to employees. Examples of such texts may be:
