Businessolver Expands Pinnacle Partner Program to Enhance the Carrier Experience and Integration with Innovative Benefits Technology

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Businessolver®, a leader in SaaS-based benefits technology and services, today announced the expansion of their exclusive Pinnacle Program with preferred voluntary benefits carriers and partners. The dedicated partnerships between Businessolver and select benefits carriers brings a fully integrated and enhanced voluntary benefits experience to employers and their employees using Businessolver's benefits technology, Benefitsolver.

"Given our current environment, creating seamless connections to voluntary benefits has never been more important," said Michelle Lockhart, Strategy Practice Leader, Carrier Relations at Businessolver. "Benefitsolver data has shown that many employees have lost their savings cushion during the pandemic and voluntary benefits can play a critical role in ensuring they are protected against unexpected medical costs in the new year. That's why this Pinnacle Program is so important, an opportunity for us to ensure that consumers are educated on these benefits and are able to seamlessly enroll without confusion."

The Pinnacle Program was formed to ensure the highest-level supplemental benefits experience for employers and employees alike, making it easier to enroll and improving data exchange and management. To be invited into the Pinnacle Partnership Program, the carriers commit to a dedicated service model, a streamlined integration process, and the ability for employees to enroll in products from within Benefitsolver.
