Through this partnership, the implementation fee is waived for SBAM Basic level members and higher. Your customers outsource their payroll, tax compliance, employee benefits, risk management, and more – without the overhead. As the referring Agent, you receive a referral commission each year.

Your customer’s personal COBRA Coordinator sends all necessary letters and notifications, provides a monthly activity report and online access to their account, and collects premium payments from the COBRA-enrolled beneficiaries.

Our affordable and flexible plans allow your small business customers to offer a complete medical, dental, vision, life and disability package that will save time and money while reducing the hassles of offering employee benefit plans.

Many employers ask their employees to share in the cost of health insurance through premium sharing, deductibles and co-insurance.  With SBAM’s flexible benefit plan administration in place, both your customer and their employees save through tax-preferred methods.

When your customers join SBAM as a Premium, VIP or Elite level member, they gain access to our Ask An Expert web portal for answers to all their HR and Legal questions. Our partners are trusted experts that be relied on for accurate, timely information.

SBAM handles all of the billing and enrollment for our sponsored Blue Cross® Blue Shield® of Michigan, Blue Care Network and OneAmerica Financial® coverage through our internal member care team here in our Lansing office.

The SBAM Member Care Team will assist you with quoting, new business, policies, amendments and cancellations, agent commissions, and field support. Your small group customers can contact us for help with all of their insurance needs.

If you are changing your customer’s existing Blue Cross or BCN coverage to an SBAM-sponsored small group health plan, you’ll need to submit a rollover letter through your online OneSource agent account.

SBAM’s Accident Fund program provides an upfront 5% premium discount, and the program is dividend eligible. Dividend eligibility simply means that if the comparison of our premiums earned versus claims paid falls into the right range, then you get money back. We’re pleased to tell you that our enrolled members are receiving a 2% dividend payment this year!

The discounted workers’ compensation rates and dividend program available through Accident Fund is a great example of how SBAM, and the buying power of our thousands of members from across Michigan, can benefit your company. The savings you receive are well above the amount you pay for the cost of an SBAM annual membership.
