Where Employers, Employees, Brokers and Carriers Connect

The concept behind Servarus Systems was conceived decades ago when a group of Life and Health insurance brokers sought a more efficient way to support their clients. The intent was to make the benefits administration process as simple and accurate as possible.

Backed by our proprietary BeneLink Connect software as a service platform (SaaS) and attentive customer support teams, Servarus is dedicated to collectively working with clients, and partners (brokers/TPAs and insurance carriers) to redefine the entire employee and employer benefits administration experience for all size companies.

Ultimately, our goal is to remove the employer and broker from the middle of the process and make the employee feel like a customer. We conduct our benefits administration services with the following objectives in mind:

• Help employers reduce administrative costs and time through more simple and efficient transaction processing to insurance carriers and HRIS systems.
• Empower employees to take control of enrollment by providing them with direct access to personal information.
• Create standard file feed interfaces for a variety of insurance carriers.
• Provide file and data audits on a regular basis.
• Simplify the process for all parties.
