Star HRG 'Fundamental Care' Covers Employees Caught between Expensive Major Medical Plans and Entry-Level Limited-Benefit Plans
Star HRG, a leading provider of limited-benefit medical plans, announces the launch of Fundamental Care, an insurance plan for companies on tight budgets.
Fundamental Care is designed to fill the growing gap in coverage between low-wage hourly and part-time workers and those offered and unable to afford major medical coverage, which can cost upwards of $400 each month.
There are currently 48 million Americans that face life without health insurance, and that number will be on the rise as premiums climb steadily each year. With employers hurting from the weight of hefty benefit costs, companies that cannot afford to absorb premium increases are faced with a difficult decision: either pass the costs on to their employees or eliminate major medical plans altogether. >>>

A Second Chance: Helping People Return to Work After a Disabling Injury or Illness
Brian Bell was a senior investigator with the Los Angeles District Attorney's office when he injured his back during a physical agility test. No longer able to perform his regular duties, he began receiving disability benefits, but didn't give up on his hope to someday work again as a detective. With the help of his disability insurance provider and his own entrepreneurial spirit, Bell recently launched a background check business that enables him to earn more money than he received from his disability benefits and continue working in the investigative field he so enjoyed.
Bell is one of several individuals speaking about his successful vocational rehabilitation at one of three CIGNA Group Insurance featured events next week in Pittsburgh, PA, Dallas, TX and Glendale, CA. The events are part of the company's annual celebration of National Rehabilitation Awareness Week, which CIGNA Group Insurance sponsors, and which is held from Sept. 18-24 in cooperation with the National Rehabilitation Awareness Foundation (NRAF) of Scranton, PA. >>>

CIGNA Group Insurance Enhances Its Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) Services
Introduced in 1993, the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was designed to provide job protection and peace of mind for employees who desire extended time off from work to attend to a medical or family issue. However, for employers, FMLA has created numerous administrative headaches as companies struggle to manage the many complexities of the law. In a 2001 HRnext.com study, more than half of Human Resource executives surveyed ranked FMLA as their biggest regulatory concern, above Affirmative Action and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
To help employers better manage FMLA compliance and reduce their administrative burden, CIGNA Group Insurance recently enhanced its FMLA services, which integrate with the company's short-term disability (STD) coverage, making the program more attractive and more widely available to employers. >>>

FACTS ON WORKER’S COMPENSATION COVERAGE
|
The law calls for a strict liability in terms of the fault as well as the negligence committed by the employers to be established before a claim for benefits can be brought out in court. Likewise, the law also stipulates that the injury or illness has to be acquired during the time of employment, such is required in order for the worker’s compensation system to give benefits to the injured worker. And since there is a stipulation on the worker’s compensation law that provides strict liability on employers fault and negligence then there would be a legal remedy for the sustained injuries or illness of any employee in time of his or her employment. >>>

MetLife Research Reveals Long-Term Care Insurance is Fastest Growing Benefit
|
Amid rising healthcare costs, employers are seeking cost-effective ways to enhance their benefits offerings, minimize administrative costs, and address the diverse work/life needs of their employees. The result: many companies are expanding their benefits packages by supplementing employer-funded offerings with voluntary benefits, for which employees pay some or all of the costs. That is one key finding of a study conducted in April based on MetLife's client database of benefit trends and offerings at 88 of the top one hundred FORTUNE 500(C) companies(1). Over the past few years, some of MetLife's largest corporate customers have expanded their employee benefits offerings in several key areas. In particular, long-term care insurance (currently offered by 33% of the companies included in the analysis) is the fastest growing employee benefit, up 61% over the past four years. Disability insurance (39%) is the second most popular in terms of growth, up 28% during the same period. >>>
