KAHS was formed by a team of professionals with over a century of experience in
all aspects of the benefit, administration and insurance industries. This
varied expertise moved beyond "doing business as usual" and challenged the
industry's power structures. Company leadership recognized the enormous
challenge faced by employers to provide quality health benefits for their
employees at a reasonable price. Thus, KAHS was born out of a desire to bring a
team of problem solvers together to create health benefit solutions for
employer members of Associations. Immediate cost savings are derived through
technology-based administration, multi-year cost guarantees, creative plan
designs, "Association Only" products and hassle-free, single source customer
service.
The way KAHS accomplishes this starts and ends with four words:
YOU ENROLL. WE SOLVE.
This simple, yet inclusive statement tells the KAHS story. KAHS does not allow
the Marketing team members to play the "bait and switch" game of giving
employers a low-ball, base-rate quote for their group health benefits and then
coming back to the employer with a price that is 30% or 70% higher after health
data is obtained through laborious, hand-written paper applications. Instead,
KAHS gathers the necessary data upfront and online through a secure,
HIPPA-compliant, electronic enrollment system (THE UDGS). In a 15 minute
process, employer and employee provide their information - once. That
information is provided to underwriters to quote the final group benefit price
the first time. And with the powerful tool of the proprietary online enrollment
process, the final price is the best price. and can be maintained for years to
come.
KAHS has helped develop, with their team members, "Association Only" products.
These are products designed, priced and exclusively available for Associations
and their members. It is the formulation of the products together with the
Association member participation that produce health benefits solutions that
employers desperately need. With these products KAHS delivers what no other
employee benefit consulting company can - multi-year cost guarantees and
dollars added to your bottom line.
KAHS envisions the day when we, in partnership with your Association, armed
with thousands and thousands of employee lives, lobby carriers on your behalf.
And like your Association who serves as your advocate, together we can lobby
those carriers to drive down unit prices and increase benefits to help you
provide the best benefit package for the lowest possible cost for your
employees.
