Case Builds in High Demand

One service in high demand within Patra's Benefit Technology Services is case builds. Through this service, the Patra Employee Benefits team manages the initial system setup and configuration of an employer's benefit plans into their chosen benefits administration platform, such as EASE, Employee Navigator, and BSwift.

This crucial process sets the stage for successful open enrollment and ongoing administration throughout the year. Patra's industry expertise and standardized operating procedures deliver properly executed case builds that ensure accurate plan options, correct eligibility rules, and proper rate structures to its clients. These elements impact on every phase of benefits administration, including:

• Pre-renewal phase: Case builds support alternative plan modeling
• Open enrollment: Case builds enable smooth enrollment execution
• Post-enrollment: Case builds facilitate mid-year plan changes
• Renewal phase: Case builds support new plan year setup

Benefits for Brokers & General Agencies

Patra's expanded Benefit Technology Services represent a transformational step forward for the Employee Benefits industry, delivering innovative, efficient, focused services that redefine the landscape. Brokers and general agencies, like Acrisure Southwest, are quickly recognizing both immediate and long-term business advantages.

“Patra's communication and responsiveness is excellent. They established a good process for data submission, scheduling meetings for review, emailing with final questions, and completing the project," said an operations leader at Acrisure Southwest.

In today's rapidly evolving benefits landscape, the adoption of tech-enabled solutions for case builds is not just an operational upgrade, it is a strategic imperative. Agencies that embrace this transformation gain more than efficiency; they position themselves as forward-thinking partners capable of delivering superior service in an increasingly complex market.
