Computer Aid, Inc. Selects Benefitfocus HR InTouch Marketplace

CHARLESTON, S.C., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Benefitfocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT), a leading provider of cloud-based benefits software solutions, today announced that Computer Aid, Inc. (CAI) has selected Benefitfocus HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE® to support benefits administration and enrollment as they prepare to address compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Founded in 1981 in Pennsylvania, CAI is a global provider of IT solutions in the private and public sectors around the world. Accessible from any web-enabled device, HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE provides a platform for CAI to manage enrollment and eligibility while offering its workforce a more convenient way to shop and enroll in their benefits.

"With a staff of more than 1,300 employees delivering on and off-site solutions across the U.S., we needed a solution that would promote employee self-service while providing tools to address ongoing administrative needs," said Cary Quarry, Corporate Manager of Benefits & Payroll for CAI. "We were drawn to Benefitfocus solutions for the functionality and robust decision support features that can help our team streamline enrollment and facilitate ACA compliance year-round."

The cloud-based infrastructure of HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE enables the integration of multiple types of benefits and automates the exchange of enrollment data with carriers and payroll providers. These capabilities, combined with configurable business rules, allow CAI to present employees the benefits for which they are eligible in one cohesive workflow. Plan comparison tools and educational videos are incorporated within the enrollment workflow to help employees better understand the options available to them. For auditing purposes, CAI can leverage electronic acknowledgement forms to confirm employee review of required communication such as the public exchange notice. Declination surveys are also available to capture reasons employees opt out of coverage.

Additionally, HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE provides a suite of tools within the Benefits Administration Role to support employee communication and management throughout the year. Using filtering options within the platform's Messaging Center, CAI can tailor communication to defined segments of their workforce. The Document Center will allow CAI employees to upload mandatory documentation directly to HR INTOUCH MARKETPLACE for administrators to approve elections that require verification such as dependent coverage or changes due to a qualifying life event. Reporting features and dashboards will help CAI analyze employee enrollment data and identify trends in plan participation.

"CAI's worldwide reach requires a benefits program that not only offers financial support, but also makes associates feel valued as individuals," said Benefitfocus President and CEO Shawn Jenkins. "Our software is designed to provide a personalized benefits shopping experience that drives confident decision-making across the whole workforce. We look forward to helping CAI address the complexity of the post-ACA world in which everyone is eligible for coverage."
