Employers Voice Opinions on Benefit Plans, Gain Insight Into Plan Management and Strategies

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — United Benefit Advisors, LLC (UBA),
(www.UBAbenefits.com), one of the nation’s leading employee benefits advisory
organizations, today announced the opening of the 2011 UBABenefitOpinions
Survey, which delineates employers’ opinions in five key areas:
HealthPlanStrategies,Benefits PhilosophyandOpinion,HealthPlan
Management,Personal Health Management and Employee Communications.

The survey results will provide employers who participate with critical
benchmarks that allow them to compare their attitudes and strategies regarding
employer-provided health care with those of their peers and competitors.
“Employers will learn which strategies are actually being implemented (rather
than just talked about) and which ones are really working,” said William
Stafford, Vice President, Member Services for UBA. The survey results compile
information from employers representing all major industry classifications,
employee size categories and regions of the country.

“Health plan strategies, philosophy, management and communication of health
plans will be an important focus for employers in the upcoming months as the
debate on health care continues in Washington. As we have seen in prior opinion
surveys conducted by UBA, there will undoubtedly be some surprises that we will
identify and include in our analysis,” Stafford said.

The survey is open from Feb. 7 through March 4. Employers who participate in the
2011UBABenefitOpinions Surveywill receive a complimentary electronic synopsis of
the final report.
