Grow your book of business by partnering with PeopleKeep
As a health insurance broker, you work hard to grow your business and support your clients’ needs. But traditional group health insurance may not be the best option for all your clients. By working with PeopleKeep, you can be a hero and solve your clients’ biggest problems by offering alternative benefits solutions that meet their unique needs and budgets.
Give your clients more choices
Your clients rely on your expertise to find creative solutions to their unique needs. This is especially true when they face new challenges like large premium rate increases or changing regulations.
By partnering with PeopleKeep, you can offer modern benefits solutions other brokers don’t. We’ll help you become an expert in health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and employee stipends so you can help your clients provide benefits their employees love.
As a partner, you can:
✓ Save your clients who aren't a good fit for group health insurance

Why should insurance brokers consider personalized benefits for their clients?
At PeopleKeep, we understand that growing your book of business and keeping your clients happy is critical.
However, traditional benefits don’t work for every organization. For your smallest clients, a group plan may be out of reach financially. Or your clients may not meet the minimum participation requirements of group health plans. You may also have clients who receive large rate increases at renewal. Instead of losing these clients, you can offer them personalized health benefits.
That’s where PeopleKeep comes in. We’re the leader in cloud-based personalized benefits administration solutions, and we’re here to help your clients offer a benefits package that works for their unique needs and budget.
With PeopleKeep, your clients don’t have to spend a fortune or manage relationships and contracts with numerous vendors. Our platform makes it easy to offer affordable benefits that reflect your clients’ company values while eliminating the administrative burden. Plus, brokers get a commission from us. You can continue to support your clients’ employees during open enrollment because we list you as a preferred broker on their dashboards.
“Having PeopleKeep as a partner is a valuable addition to my business. Even if I didn’t receive a commission, I would still sell PeopleKeep’s HRA for free because it gives my clients more flexibility and saves them thousands of dollars each year.”

Benefits options for organizations of all sizes
At PeopleKeep, our software allows your clients to administer two distinct types of benefits: health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs) and employee stipends.
A powerful alternative to group health insurance made specifically for small employers.
A health benefit that enables employers to cover the individual insurance plans their employees choose.
A health benefit that employers can use to help employees with their out-of-pocket expenses.
Health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs)
An HRA is an IRS-approved health benefit that enables employers to reimburse their employees tax-free for qualifying medical expenses such as health insurance premiums and other out-of-pocket expenses. Employers set a monthly allowance for their employees to use and approve their eligible expenses for reimbursement.
Employers can leverage two types of HRAs as alternatives to traditional group health insurance. The QSEHRA is specifically designed for small organizations with fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees (FTEs), while an ICHRA is an excellent option for employers of all sizes.
Employers that offer a group plan can pair it with a GCHRA to supplement their employees’ health benefits and cover out-of-pocket expenses.
Complete cost control
Your clients can set a budget that works for their team and avoid unexpected rate hikes.
No minimum size requirements
Unlike many group carriers, an HRA doesn’t require your clients to meet a participation threshold.
Personalization and flexibility
Employees can spend allowances on the health policies, services, and products that work best for them.
Tax-free reimbursements
Reimbursements are tax-free for employers and employees with minimum essential coverage (MEC).
Employee stipends
Employee stipends, also known as perks or fringe benefits, are a sum of money provided to employees to help them cover various expenses. These fully customizable perks include lifestyle benefits such as wellness programs, an allowance for professional development or remote work, or one-time spot bonuses.
The level of benefit design customization available through PeopleKeep’s WorkPerks employee stipend administration platform makes the number of possible types of perks endless. Stipends are a great way for your clients to enhance their benefits package and support their employees beyond health insurance.
